We all know what happens when our favorite character roams through the forest and happens upon an adorable bear cub joyfully playing in a stream. The character slowly approaches, attempting to get an epic outdoor pic. That’s when Mama Bear emerges from thicket and chases away the foolish character in order to protect her cub.

This week, we continue our meditation on Psalm 23, reflecting on God’s promise to protect us. Even if that means protecting us from ourselves.
