Read Psalm 91.
And now the Word of Truth is represented as addressing you with an authoritative assurance that your prayer will be answered, that is some way or other – not necessarily in the way that you expect – you will be rescued from your difficulty.
Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wing shalt thou trust: His Truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
You are to have no apprehension, for your protection is now assured in one of those illustrations from everyday life, in which the Bible abounds. The mother hen, at the slightest threat of danger, gathers the little chicks under her wings, covering them “with her feathers”; thus does God shield you from all danger once you have elected to trust Him. His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. It is the knowledge of the Truth about God and man that makes the demonstration.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. The arrow that flieth by day and the destruction that wasteth at noon refer to any difficulty of which you are consciously aware. It is, so to say, a daytime problem. The terror by night and the pestilence that walketh in darkness, on the contrary, imply something that, unknown to you, is working in your subconscious mind. Modern psychology has shown that most of our difficulties have their roots in the depth of the subconscious. These are indeed terrors of the mental night and pestilences of the darkness.
Whatever is limiting or hurting us, weighing us down or contributing to our failure, fear or lack, will be overcome when we know and fully accept the knowledge of the Truth about God and turn to God for our deliverance. In Paul’s letter to the Romans he says, “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39)
So, my brothers and sisters, we are not to be afraid of anything as long as we accept and live the truth given to us in the Bible. Even those things we can not see, feel or understand can not harm us or take away our joy if we love and obey God. This is how we can live in our gardens in the midst of all the ugliness, hurt and evil in this world. Through God’s love and our obedience to God, we rise above all the world’s limitation and hurt to live in joy and gladness with hope and confidence that destroys fear and rebukes doubt.
In truth,
