Yes, our protection comes from the Lord, and he, the Holy One of Israel, has given us our king.
Psalms 89:18 NLT

You can buy 20 guns, but our protection comes from the Lord. You can pay $300 for a security system, but our protection comes from the Lord. You can learn all the martial arts created, but our protection comes from the Lord.

Emotionally, you can have all your guards up in order to not get hurt again, but our protection comes from the Lord. You can sabotage the relationship, but our protection comes from the Lord. You can never be in a relationship again, but our protection comes from the Lord.

All of this protection God provides is on the table, but it’s up to us to pick it up and rely on it. He’s not going to force His protection on us. If we feel guns and security systems are a better form of protection than He provides, He’ll allow us to put those things over Him. If we feel like our guards are better than His guard, He’ll let us go through life emotionally incarcerated.

Let God do His job. Let Him protect you however He sees fit. He may tell us to buy a gun or be mindful of another person’s actions, but that’s God being our ultimate protector. Don’t be your own protection. Let God protect you.
