Read Psalm 91:1, 2, 14. Today, Jehovah promises to provide for us with spiritual protection. He will never allow Satan to corrupt true worship. (John 17:15) And when the "great tribulation" strikes, we can have absolute confidence that Jehovah will fulfill his promise to safeguard his people not only spiritually but also physically. - REVELATIONS 7:9, 14.
What protection does Jehovah provide for us as individuals? Through the Scriptures, Jehovah helps us to discern right from wrong. (Hebrews 5:14) When we live by the principles found in God's Word, we shield ourselves from both spiritual and physical harm. (Psalm 9:14) Additionally, Jehovah provides protection through the congregation. (Isaiah 32:1,2) By surrounding ourselves with those who love Jehovah and who live by his principles, we receive encouragement and are strengthened to resist harmful influences. - PROVERBS 13:20.
Jehovah at times protected his worshippers in the past from physical harm. However, he did so in every case. Sometimes we fall victim to "unexpected events." (Ecclesiasteas 9:11) Also, Jehovah has allowed his servants throughout history to face persecution and even death in order to prove Satan a liar. (Job 2:4-6; Matthew 23:34) The same is true today. Although Jehovah may not remove our trials, we can be sure that he will never abandon those who love him. - PSALM 9:10.
