How do we know that God protects His servants?

Answered in 1 source

God protects His servants as shown in 1 Kings 20-21, where He shields Elijah and Elisha while executing His will against the king's wickedness.

The narrative in 1 Kings, particularly in chapters 20 and 21, illustrates how God providentially protects His servants. For instance, although Ahab was engaged in his wicked schemes, God intervened multiple times through prophets like Elijah to deliver messages of hope and judgment. When Ahab was embroiled in his battles against Benhadad, God assured his victory, declaring, 'I will deliver it into thine hand' (1 Kings 20:13). Similarly, despite Ahab's overthrowing Naboth's rights, God preserved Elijah and Elisha, allowing them space to fulfill their ministries unobstructed. This divine sheltering points to God's overarching plan, where the success of His servants is tied to the greater unfolding of His redemptive purposes.
