How do we know God preserves the simple?

The phrase "The Lord preserveth the simple" found in Psalm 116:6 highlights God's protective nature over those who are humble and recognize their own weaknesses. In the sermon, it is explained that those who acknowledge their spiritual poverty and cling to Christ are secure in His saving grace. 1 Corinthians 1:27 affirms this by noting that God chooses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. This divine preservation helps believers stay true to the gospel amidst the confusion of false teachings and complex philosophical debates.
