Psalm 33:18Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read VersionThe Lord watches over his followers, those who wait for him to show his faithful love. See the chapter |
I was embarrassed to ask King Artaxerxes for soldiers and horsemen to protect us as we traveled. There were enemies on the road. The reason I was embarrassed to ask for protection was because of what we had told the king. We had said to King Artaxerxes, “Our God is with everyone who trusts him, but he is very angry with everyone who turns away from him.”
