TODAY’S WORD…

.

Protect me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
.

I say to the Lord,

‘You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from You.’

.

– Psalm 16:1-2 (NRSV)

.

REFLECTION…

.

When, for whatever reason, I distance myself from God,

the goodness in me loses its divine protection

and I become openly susceptible to worldly corruption.

.

We can ill afford to remove ourselves from the Lord’s protection.

Without Him, we are nothing;

away from Him, our weaknesses can easily take over;

apart from Him, we have no good

and we make ourselves easy prey for the devil,

who is always there “prowling around like a roaring lion

looking for someone to devour.” (cf. 1 Pet 5:8)
