We live in uncertain times, with daily life disrupted by a range of global challenges. Amid these moments of unprecedented disruption and fear, God offers a timeless message for us in Psalm 91. This Psalm provides a powerful promise of protection from God in any crisis.
Faith In Christ Can Overcome Fear
In verse 1 of Psalm 91, God calls His people to rest and dwell in His shelter during times of crisis. When you know who shelters you, you have nothing to fear. God watches over you and any threat that comes your way. In verse 2, God is named “my refuge and my fortress,” emphasizing that He is a refuge for small, everyday problems and a mighty fortress against large-scale challenges. So, ask yourself: when a crisis comes, who do you trust?
Constant Protection
As we continue through Psalm 91 to verses 5-7, we learn that God provides 24-7 protection. He watches over you even while you sleep. With this assurance, you can cast out every fear and anchor your heart in bold faith.
In times like these, the battleground isn’t just physical but mental and emotional as well. Mentally, avoid constantly checking social media and watching the news around the clock, as there is much fear-mongering out there. As followers of Christ, there is no need to let fear hijack your mind or heart. Physically, are you taking common-sense precautions? Wash your hands and maintain social distance. Follow the advice of professionals, but do so without fear. Are you caring for seniors? Loneliness is real – write your senior neighbor a note or ask if they need groceries delivered. Also, pray for healthcare workers. Use Psalm 91 as a prayer of protection over them, asking God to sustain them as they care for the sick and minister to the hurting.
Remember, God has ultimate control over every situation. When fear rises, you can stand your ground. To experience God’s perfect peace in times of trouble, dwell in His presence. Draw close to Christ in prayer. While Christians still face hardships, we can be assured that God will never leave us, and our eternal security is forever safe in Christ. Let Christ shelter you under His wings of protection today.
Ultimate Control and Peace
God’s control over every situation is absolute. When fear arises, we can stand firm in faith. To experience God’s perfect peace in times of trouble, dwelling in His presence is key. Drawing close to Christ in prayer ensures that, even amid hardships, we are never alone. Our eternal security is forever safe in Christ, and He shelters us under His wings of protection.
