Because you have made the LORD your dwelling place-the Most High, who is my refuge- no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent.
Psalm 91:9-10

The LORD is the place you run to.
The LORD is your protector and your protection.
The LORD is the Most High.
The LORD is where you stay.

And he will keep evil from you.

This is good news.

A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.
Psalm 91:7-8

A thousand. That’s a lot. You will watch a thousand enemies try and fail to hurt you, if you stand behind our Father’s shield. They will not even get close to you.

And because you are cloaked in the Son’s righteousness, you will not be among the group who receives the punishment the wicked get.

Thank God. Praise him. See the blessings you are getting.

===

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.

===
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.”

The Truth for Christians: God is our shelter, refuge and fortress.
Our Response: We glorify Him. We trust in him. We abide in his shadow.

Dwell with God.

The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.
Proverbs 18:10

On Wednesday nights during the school year, I work with kindergarten and first grade students and sometimes I find it helpful to teach a biblical passage with a narrative illustration.

This passage comes with one built into it. Choosing to be with God is like escaping an enemy by running into a tower that is strong and fortified. The danger is outside, but you’re being protected and made safe by the strong walls of the fortress.

God provides protection, security and safety. He is strong.

Trust him. Stay in his walls.

===

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.
