What If Your Delay Is God Protecting You? | Psalm 121:5 with Ash Couchman

Psalm 121:5 says, “The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand.”In today’s episode, Ash shares a real moment where everything went “wrong” — running late, getting pulled over, panicking about missing a concert — only to look back and realise God might have been protecting them the whole time. Sometimes God’s covering doesn’t look like a miracle… it looks like an interruption.A delay.A detour.A closed door.Something that frustrates you at first, but later reveals His kindness, His timing, and His protection. In this episode, Ash unpacks: How God guards us in ways we don’t always see Why “setbacks” can actually be God keeping you safe The difference between God’s protection and God’s comfort How Psalm 121:5 shows God as both our defender and our place of rest Practical ways to shift your perspective when things don’t go to plan What happens when you choose trust over panic How to find joy, rest, and reassurance in God’s authority If life feels messy, delayed, or out of control, this conversation is a reminder to breathe, look up, and trust that God watches over every step — even the ones that feel like setbacks. He is your protector and your shade.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
