“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Ps91.1 NKJV
Psalm 91 has been called the “Soldier’s Psalm,” and is still read over kneeling troops before they go into harms way. But, it is not only soldiers who are in harm’s way or who need the assurances given in these words. The world is full of dangers for each of us, threats from without and from within. Body and soul, the physical and spiritual are in constant peril, and this is true every single day. Yet, one encouragement that is repeated to us, over and over again in the Scriptures, is simply this, “Do not be afraid.“
We look to God for provision, we look to Him for protection. Protection and provision are fundamental in any parent child relationship. Father knows that we have need of these things and only heaven will reveal the many times and many ways He has stood watch over us. I think we will be equally surprised to find out how these promises were kept even when a soldier fell in battle or a child of God died in an auto accident. For now, we do what we must, we pray as Christ taught us, “Deliver us from evil.” Thank You Father, for Your kind protection. 6/21/07 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
