Psa 121:5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

Thy Keeper

They Shade

I took this photo yesterday morning with my Huawei Nova 2i in the Philippines.

I love the truth that God Never slumbers or sleeps. This knowledge lets me lay my head down and sleep in complete peace. Why would I have to stay up and fret and worry when He is my Keeper and my Shade?
