You don’t have to be afraid of deadly viruses lurking somewhere or
wonder if some deadly disease is developing in your body
Joseph Prince
“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.” – (Psalm 91:5-6)
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.”
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!
