"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall
abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge
and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from
the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence." (Psalm 91:1-3)
Is
it possible to live free from fear in this dangerous and unpredictable world?
Yes, it most definitely is! Because protection is a solid promise of God. But
it's not a promise that's offered to just anyone; it is promised to those who
abide in the Lord. To abide means to dwell, to remain and to continue. To abide
in the shadow of the Almighty is to live in continual union with Him, keeping
His Word and obeying His voice. Those who abide in the Lord can live without
dread of what the devil will do.
Let
me make this clear though-- God's promise of protection doesn't guarantee that
the devil will leave you alone! It means that God will
give
you a way of escape every time the devil rears his ugly face at you. If you are
afraid of the dangers around you, spend more time in the Word and in prayer
until your trust in God overcomes your fear. Draw closer to the Lord until you
are abiding in the shadow of the Almighty and—no matter how dangerous this
world becomes--He surely shall deliver you!
