The moth was safe because a barrier protected it from its enemy. God’s hand of protection is like that window of glass. Although the barrier seemed invisible to the moth and bird, it protected the moth from harm. You can’t see God’s invisible hand of protection either, but His hand keeps Satan from touching His people. “The Lord is faithful. He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one” (2 Thess. 3:3). “The Son of God keeps [God’s children] safe, and the evil one cannot touch them” (1 John 5:18 NCV).
When God sent the plagues on the Egyptians, the Lord protected Israel from the judgments. “But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing will die of all that belongs to the sons of Israel” (Ex. 9:4). He knows how to protect His people, even during times of calamity. “You need not be afraid of sudden disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked, for the Lord is your security. He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap” (Prov. 3:25-26 NLT).
We can trust God to protect us because our safety is found in Him. “The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to Him and are safe” (Prov. 18:10 NLT). Whenever you feel in danger, remember to run into God’s strong fortress. “I will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress, My God in whom I trust!’” (Psalm 91:2).
