The Providential Preserving Power of God

Christian, we are all being sustained by the providential preserving power of God—we owe it all to our LORD.

Psalm 124

1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side– let Israel now say–

2 if it had not been the LORD who was on our side when people rose up against us,

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

4 then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;

5 then over us would have gone the raging waters.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
