Whether it be storm, enemies, persecution, or undesirable circumstances, our God protects His people. "Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain" (Psalm 127:1b). "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms" (Deuteronomy 33:27a). "The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it and is safe" (Proverbs 18:10). Our mighty God is our shield of defense and our protector in every situation. He is never caught "off guard" and is always there to aid His own.
