Psalm 91

Psalm 91

Theme: God's protection in the midst of danger. God doesn't promise a world fee from danger, but he does promise his help whenever we face danger.

Author: Anonymos

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust."

Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare

and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with his feathers,

and under his wings you will find refuge;

his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

You will not fear the terror of the night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

nor the plague that destroys at midday.

A thousand may fall at your side,

ten thousand at your right hand,

but it will not come near you.

You will only observe with your eyes 

and see the punishment of the wicked.

If you make the Most High your dwelling-

even the Lord, who is my refuge-

then no harm will befall you,

no disaster will come near your tent.

For he will command his angels concerning you

to guard you in all your ways;

they will lift you up in their hands,

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;

you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

"Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him;

I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

He will call upon me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble,

I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life will I satisfy him

and show him my salvation."

The youngest of my family, Nicole and Lorelei, have been in Navy bootcamp a week today. I am so proud of them! It's amazing how God works, that they both got the job that they wanted, and got to go through bootcamp together. They signed up under the job mass communications. Nikki is going for photography, and Lorelei journalism or broadcasting. They have been on my mind so much. Both of the girls have said that this passage keeps rolling through their heads. I can't wait to see them graduate! Then they both will go to Maryland to school for 25 weeks. Another blessing, that Lorelei and Nikki can be together in school. We'll have to wait and see what's after that school... 

I am also excited that their bootcamp is in Northern Illinois! Even though I can't see them until they graduate, it's nice to know that they are close by. 

This passage means a lot to me personally. I read it almost every day while Casey was deployed in Afghanistan. 

As you read this, or go about your day. Please keep Nicole and Lorelei in your thoughts and prayers. Also, the rest of our military and their families.
