Psalm 91:7 - Gods Protecting Presence.
Psalm 91:7 (NLT) Though a thousand fall at
your side, though ten thousand are dying around
you, these evils will not touch you.
COMMENTARY PEARL
There are so many things we can be afraid
of in life. We can be afraid to get on a plane.
We can be afraid to drive a car. We can be
afraid to do this or that. We can be filled with
fear over just about everything.
But in Psalm 91, we find this promise for
believers: Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you, these
evils will not touch you: (Psalm 91:7 NLT).
Isnt that great to know? It isnt
over until its over. Until that time, we can
go out with boldness, knowing that God is in
control of our lives.
I read the story of a courageous
Christian who was standing before a king who wanted
him to deny Christ. The king threatened, If
you dont do it, I will banish you.
The Christian replied, You cant
banish me from Christ. He says He will never leave
me nor forsake me.
The king said, I will confiscate your
property and take it all from you.
The Christian said, My treasures are
laid up on high; you cannot get them.
I will kill you, the king told him.
I have been dead forty years, the
Christian answered. I have been dead with Christ;
dead to the world. My life is hid with Christ in
God, and you cannot touch it.
The king said, What can you do with
such a fanatic?
May God give us more Christians who know
something of Gods protection like this believer
did. However, there is a difference between
trusting the Lord and testing the Lord. Dont take
unnecessary chances with your life and expect Him to
bail you out. Yes, He will keep us in all of our
ways - but our ways should be His ways. [Greg
