Abiding in the Shadow of the Almighty

America and yes, the World, is in the middle of economic difficulties. Some are already experiencing the difficulties of a world turned upside down for them by losing value of stocks as the market declined reeking havoc on portfolios throughout the world. People are losing their jobs and with it their means of paying their mortgages, their credit card debt, and their gas, water, and electricity bills – much less putting food on the table for their children. And there, but for the Grace of God, go you and I.

But for anyone experiencing difficulties of any type, God has comfort and God has hope. Let’s look at a bit of Psalm 91 and take comfort in these promises.

He ….. shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress:….my God; in him will I trust.
He shall cover thee (this is to provide a shield over you to protect you)
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; ….. nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
……..there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

(Words from God to us tell us of protection--)
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him

So take comfort in knowing that as a Child of God, you have a loving God who cares and provides.
