Today I want to share Joseph Prince's "Grace Inspirations":
ROUND-THE-CLOCK PROTECTION
Psalm 91:5–6 You shall 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 noonday.
During World War II, German planes bombed London. Houses
were leveled. But there was one that remained standing amidst the rubble. Its
owner said that when she read Psalm 121:4, which says, “Behold, He who keeps
Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep,” she told the Lord, “Lord, since You
don’t sleep, then there is no point in both of us keeping awake. I will sleep
while You keep watch.” And she did, while the Lord protected her and her house.
In 2005, terrorists attacked London’s public transport
system. That day, a Singaporean girl found herself unexpectedly late for work
and could not get to the train station in time to board her usual train. When
she finally neared the station, she realized that it had been bombed just a few
minutes earlier. Her mother, who worships in our church, believes that God
protected her daughter that day.
God wants you to know that you have round-the-clock
protection—“You shall 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 noonday.”
He protects you from “the terror by night,” which could
refer to evils such as rape, kidnap or murder. He promises you protection from
“the arrow that flies by day.” This could refer to bullets from a crazy sniper,
drive-by shootings or home-made rockets fired into your territory.
God also shields you from “the pestilence that walks in
darkness,” referring to viruses which you cannot see. You don’t have to be
afraid of deadly viruses lurking somewhere or wonder if some deadly disease is
developing in your body.
God also doesn’t want you to be afraid of “the destruction
that lays waste at noonday,” such as a tsunami hitting the beach resort you are
at, or a bomb going off in the shopping mall you are in.
You need not be afraid because God, who neither slumbers nor
sleeps, is watching over you 24 hours a day!
AMEN! God's protection, provision and safety is available for every born again believer who will spend time in the 'secret place' of Psalm 91! This is the place of being aware of HIS presence through prayer, praise & Worship, study & meditation of the Word and in intimate fellowship with Him! Doing this will build great faith in HIS care for YOU! You can count on Him! ALWAYS! Here is Hillsong with "What A Beautiful Name":Shalom in Him!
