Our provision is unlimited and our failure is taken care of because we are fully accepted in Christ.

Ps 129 He will not let your foot slip—

he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who over Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord watches over you—

the Lord is your shade at your right hand;

6 the sun will not harm you by day,

nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord will keep you from all harm

he will watch over your life;

8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going now and forever more.

The Lord created all things. He is the creator and sustain-er of all creation. When God delivered Israel from Egypt, He led Israel through the desert to the promise land by a cloud. The cloud was a display of Gods control over the creation. At all times Gods is ordering the movements of all the created things. In this way God is working with His hands as He creates and recreates. In Acts the Apostle said that we live and move and have our being in God Not only does God work with the things of creation but He holds us together.

So we only exist because God is always sustaining and healing us. The Psalmist is saying that God gave them a visible display of His power and order when He led them by the cloud. He protected them from the harmful heat of the desert sun and was even watching over them in the cloud by blocking out the light from the moon while they slept.

This is a picture of the incarnation of Christ who became a man and obeyed the Father perfectly. Just as God led Israel to the promise land over very dangerous territory so Christ has made us completely acceptable to the Father by acting perfectly and atoning for our sin. All the work that we do in this life is only acceptable to the Father because Christ went our before us and accomplished the Fathers will.Our provision is unlimited and our failure is taken care of because we are fully accepted in Christ.
