===

You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
Psalm 91:5-6

There are many kinds of danger in this world. They are works of Satan. They are a result of the fall.

But those who are in Christ do not need to be afraid of them. They can do us no lasting harm.

Trust your Heavenly Father.

Song by Phil Krause

===
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.

Psalm 91:3-4

Here are more word pictures –

There is a hunter who is seeking to capture you. Your God will protect you and rescue you from that being.

Your God is a like a strong eagle protecting its young from a storm.

Your God is a like protective armor that keeps the enemy’s weapons from hurting you.

Stay with this God. Stay in his protection. Trust his strength.

Praise him for his Love.

===

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Our Response: We glorify Him. We trust in him. We abide in his shadow.

Dwell with God.

===

Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
1 Peter 5:9-10

Resist the Devil. Don’t give up. Reject his works and his ways. Fight the ways he harms you and others.

Know that you aren’t alone. Know that your struggle and your burden will not be yours forever.

See God’s grace in store for you: Restoration, Confirmation, Strengthening and Establishment. These things are forever.

And he will call you home.

===

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
1 Peter 5:6-8

With a powerful and dangerous enemy always looking to harm us, how should we behave?
Here are four things this passage tells us to do.

Cast your anxieties on God.
Be sober-minded.
Be watchful.
Be humble under God’s hand.

And here are two reasons why these thing are wise behaviours
God cares for you – he will take care of your anxieties.
God will exalt you – if you humble yourself.

Satan is strong. Aren’t you glad that your God is infinitely stronger?

===

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
2 Timothy 1:7

What are you afraid of? What do you fear? Are they things God has power over?

How would you describe your spirit – or said another way – what dominates your thought life? Is it inline with your God?

If you belong to Christ, your God is loving and powerful – that’s how your spirit should be.

But how can we get this spirit? Read scripture for confirmation. Pray for knowledge and belief in the truth.

===

…I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Philippians 4:11-13

As has been previously pointed out, when we consider the encouraging statement, “I can do all things through him who strengthens me,” we should consider the context.

This passage doesn’t mean that we can choose to do any action we feel like, merely by employing the strength that God supplies.

The range of “all things” in the passage is plenty and abundance to hunger and need and what God promises here is the strength to handle both of these extremes and (where you more likely are) all places in between.

Have you considered that? Do you worry about how you will handle it if you suddenly lose everything or gain everything?

If you are saved through Jesus, God will give you the strength to face it, no matter what he puts in your path.

===
When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you. 23For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life

Proverbs 6:22-23

We know from the previous verses that “they” here are “Your Father’s Commandments” and “Your Mother’s Teaching”

These things are important for children. Their parents guidance will lead them, watch over them and talk with them.

Wise words from parents will be a light of guidance and a way of life.

Teach kids that it’s important to listen to and learn from their parents.

===

My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not your mother’s teaching. Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck.

Proverbs 6:20-21

It’s fairly clear in the Bible. A child’s parents are a source of wisdom for the child.

Children, listen to your parents.
Parents, think about what God wants you to say to your children.

===

And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.

Galatians 5:24-25

The Apostle Paul makes a wise statement here. If we live by the Holy Spirit (according to his guidance, with his strength), we will keep in step with Him.

And one of the ways we can see that this is happening is we show the fruit of the Holy Spirit’s work in our live.

Look for it. In yourself and others.

Commend it. Be thankful for it. Praise God for it.

Our walk with God is much sweeter and stronger because of the Holy Spirit helping us.
