God didn’t say a Christian life would always be
easy. In fact, He promised that those who live a Godly life and serve Christ
will suffer persecution. He also promised that if we stay close to Him, He will
cover us.
Security of One
Who Trusts in the Lord.
91 One who dwells
in the shelter of the Most High
Will lodge in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the Lord,
“My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!”
3 For it is He who rescues you from the net of the
trapper
And from the deadly plague.
4 He will cover you with His pinions,
And under His wings you may take refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and wall.
5 You will
not be afraid of the terror by night,
Or of the arrow that flies by day;
6 Of the plague that [a]stalks in
darkness,
Or of the destruction that devastates at noon.
7 A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But it shall not approach you.
8 You will only look on with your eyes
And see the retaliation against the wicked.
9 [b]For you
have made the Lord, my
refuge,
The Most High, your dwelling place.
10 No evil will happen to you,
Nor will any plague come near your [c]tent.
11 For He will
give His angels orders concerning you,
To protect you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will lift you up,
So that you do not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will walk upon the lion and cobra,
You will trample the young lion and the [d]serpent.
14 “Because he has
loved Me, I will save him;
I will set him securely on high, because he
has known My name.
15 He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in [e]trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.
16 I will satisfy him with [f]a long
life,
And [g]show him
My salvation.”
