Even through His discipline of Israel, God is her ultimate protector and defender.
Deuteronomy 33:27-29
The eternal God is your refuge,
And underneath are the everlasting arms;
He will thrust out the enemy from before you,
And will say, ‘Destroy!’
Then Israel shall dwell in safety,
The fountain of Jacob alone,
In a land of grain and new wine;
His heavens shall also drop dew.
Happy are you, O Israel!
Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord,
The shield of your help
And the sword of your majesty!
Your enemies shall submit to you,
And you shall tread down their high places.”
PRAY ISRAEL WILL TURN TO GOD FOR HER PROTECTION AND NOT DEPEND ON HERSELF OR OTHER NATIONS.
