Psalm 97:10b-12
He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked. Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!
Lord, there is protection promised through the preservation of the lives of Your people and through the deliverance from evil. That is good, but then there is the additional blessings of light and joy. We no longer walk in darkness but in the light of Your word, we no longer live in despair but in joy and peace. We are secure.
