No Need to Fear

Note: I wrote this March 10th just one week before Coronavirus became an pandemic. Now we are all confined to our homes, the world has stopped as businesses are closing and much more but in the midst of it all God’s word stands strong and will not be shaken and we can continue to stand firm on His promise of protection in this powerful Psalm.

“I love the precious Psalm 91. What a powerful word written not only for days of old, but also for us today. Even in the midst of troubles around us we have nothing to fear for the Lord has given us promises to cling to such as this powerful Psalm. Make it your daily prayer…”

As I dwell in the secret place of the Most High

I will be safe under the shadow of the Almighty

I will say of the Lord,

“He is my refuge and my fortress

He is my God and I will trust in Him.”

He delivers me from the snare of the enemy

And from the perilous pestilence

He covers me with His feathers

And under His wings I take refuge

His truth is my shield and buckler

I will not be afraid of the terror by night

Nor of the arrow that flies by day

Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness

Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noon

A thousand will fall at my side

And ten thousand at our right hand, it will not come near me

With my eyes I will see the reward of the wicked

Since I have made the Lord my refuge

And the Most High my dwelling place,

No evil will destroy me and no plague will come near my home

God will give His angels to protect me and to keep me in all of my ways

In their hands they lift me up

I will tread on the lion and the cobra, and the serpent, I trample under my feet

In verses 14-16 The Lord says, since I have set my love on Him, He will deliver me

He will set me on high because I know His name

As I call upon Him, He will answer me

He will be with me in trouble

He will deliver me and honour me

With long life He will satisfy me and show me His salvation!

Whatever goes on in this world I stand on God’s word and His promises for myself and my family. I believe every word and speak it over us every day. What a great God is He, and He is faithful and removes all our fear. If you know Him, enjoy His presence and His protection, provision and precious blessings. We may not know about tomorrow but we do know we can trust Him through it all! And If you don’t know Him it’s not too late to seek Him while He may be found and call upon Him while He is near.
