Psalm 91:7
A thousand may fall at my side,
Ten thousand at my right hand,
But it will not come near me.
Through the past weeks, this verse has become so powerful. I've been feeling like evil is everywhere, and there's so much of it. I've been giving the devil so much more power than he has when God is on my side. It's extremely important to know that as Christians we have an enemy that comes to seek, kill, and destroy but we also have to know that God is so much more powerful. God made the heavens and the earth, you, me, the angels, and yes the demons and Satan. You know the phrase dad's say a lot, "I brought you into this world, I can take you out"? Well the same thing applies with Satan. God has ALL the power. I'm naturally I fearful person. Too much fear is paralyzing me and God says to not be afraid. He tells us time and time again, "Don't be afraid" or "fear not" in the Bible and I believe directly through the Holy Spirit. The God I believe in and live for is one that never lies and is the God of protection and comfort. So, if this is the God that is real and in the Bible, then why would he tell us to not be afraid if there was any reason to be? In the verse above, it I've replaced the you's with my's or me because this is something that we can declare if we are children of God. I say to myself a lot that a thousand may fall at my side, ten thousand at my right hand, but it will not come near me. The bad things that happen to other people will not come and infect me and happen to me that are evil because God says that it will not come near me. It's hard to trust but every time I have trouble I grab my sword of the spirit, remember my helmet of salvation has never left my head, and fight with this verse and chapter. God is on your side and the evil will NOT come near you!
