Psalm 91
This is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. It’s powerful and it reminds me of how God protects us. I read this chapter at least three to four times a week and I personalize it. “Surely He will save me from the the fowler’s snare… He will cover me with His feathers and under His wings I will find refuge; …I will not fear the terror of night… You get the idea.
If you are feeling anxious, fearful, or scared, I would encourage you to read this chapter and personalize it. God loves you and will protect you.
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.

I echo Jill’s comments, but am blessed to drive by at least once a week! This passage and the phrase “KNOW you are protected “ really struck me and brought me so much hope and peace as we face what I keep hearing could be a challenging year.
So thank you for this ministry; I’m sure it is reaching far more people than you even know!
Thank you Beth.
