In 2 cases in the book of Acts, the scriptures share that God sent angels to deliver and protect His people. When the enemy came to arrest the prophet Elisha, angels surrounded his home to protect him. In Matthew 26:53, Jesus says this about the Father’s ability to protect Him: “Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels”? We live in a world where there is a lot of violence, but remember that God is your protector. Give God thanks every day for His divine protection over your life as well as your family. Whether you see them or not, God has sent angels to protect you, so thank the Father for these precious ministers of protection.
Psalms 91: 7, 8 – A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
Is is easy today to get into a spirit of fear and concern. All one has to do is turn on the daily news. Drive-by shootings, gang violence, political upheaval, school shootings, and the list goes on. However, we must not give in to a spirit of fear. Paul said in 2 Timothy 1:7: ” For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”. Jesus said that we are to occupy until He returns. This means that we cannot allow anything to paralyze us. We have a great purpose, and that is to let our light shine in our lives. Reject fear and worry. There is so much to do, and God is with us. He will protect and keep us. He is faithful to His promises.
Psalms 91:5&6 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.
