The Bodyguard

Proverbs 2
11 Discretion will guard you,
Understanding will watch over you,
12 To deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks perverse things;

Ok, I’ll admit it. I’ve seen the movie The Bodyguard. It had Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston in it. It’s not really a “Man Movie” so I’ll give you a brief run down of it to save you from having to watch it yourself. Whitney Houston’s character, a talented but high maintenance pop star, has a crazy murderous stalker, and Kevin Costner’s character, a former Secret Service agent turned bodyguard to the stars, is tasked to keep her safe. Why do people have bodyguards? Because someone is trying to attack them and cause them harm.

Celebrities have bodyguards to keep them safe from photographers and crazy fans. The bodyguard’s job is to keep the guarded individual safe from harm. God’s word can guard over you and me in the same way that a bodyguard is tasked to keep a person from harm. Living with the word, and making it a part of your life, can guard you, watch over you, and deliver you from evil. If you’re having a hard time reading the word, or you have never really read the Bible, I encourage you to continue or to start. Hire the word to be your bodyguard. God’s word has a track record that’s unmatched.
