God is always there for us. Sometimes we don’t see it, sometimes we don’t get the answers we want. But He is always working in our lives. He is our protector. There is so much evil going on around us. One day He will come and take us home away from it. But, until then, we can trust in Him for He gives us strength (Eyaluth). He protects us. He is the ultimate shield (Magen or suri) that will keep us safe. In scripture He is called “Our Strength and Our Shield.” When God is for us, who can stand against us?
