Guard Your Heart with Psalm 91
“I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. 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 wastes at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked. Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.” (Psalms 91:2-12 WEB)
Remember that true protection comes from the Lord. Meditate on the Scriptures and confess them over yourself and your loved ones. Guard your heart from the fear and worry that is being perpetuated by the media.
When you believe and speak God’s word, God’s power is released in that related area of your life. His words are spirit and life, not just inanimate ink on a page.
A refuge is a place that you flee to after being attacked, while a fortress is a place you can preemptively position yourself to be far from the enemy.
Whether you have been attacked or not, Jesus is your source of safety, protection, and healing.
Someone may say, “What about those Christians that got it? So many in that local church got sick. How can God’s promises be true?”
Well, one needs to believe in God’s promises before he will experience it. They do not manifest for a Christian who is unbelieving and stricken by fear.
We do not know their state of mind at the time when they fell sick, and what their local church teaches about God’s protection. Some do not believe in it.
I like that Psalm 91 specifically shows that we can believe God for protection from everything that the world is afraid of nowadays. We do not have to guess God’s will in this case—it is plainly written.
Even if you hear of news about people getting sick in your neighborhood, God’s word remains true: a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.
The enemy probably hates it when you believe this. “What makes you think you are so special? Others are dying and in critical condition, and you have the cheek to say that it cannot come near you?”
You are specially protected if you believe in God’s promises. You are a sanctified child of God who has access to His protection by faith. His angels will be mobilized to guard you in all your ways, to destroy every weapon of the enemy near you.
Sometimes, believers who just stumbled and sinned feel unworthy of experiencing God’s protection. They feel like the hedge of protection has been lifted because they sinned and that God does this to teach them a lesson.
That is a false assumption that is not true under the New Covenant of Grace. Committing sin can cause your conscience to accuse you, but we must know that Grace is all about believing in what Jesus has done at the cross.
You can enjoy God’s protection from all manner of harm because Jesus shed His blood to make you forever righteous and favored in God’s sight. Protection is not a reward that you have to earn through good behavior. It is freely given as part of the salvation package—but you must believe in order to enjoy it!
Actionable Steps:
1. Meditate on Psalm 91 today and see which portion of it resonates deeply with you. Keep it in your heart and mutter it with your mouth throughout the week ahead.
2. Include words from Psalm 91 in your daily prayers for your family in the morning. Before everyone sets off for work or school, take time to tune everyone’s heart to be conscious of God’s lavish protection.
3. Look out for anyone you come across that feels unsafe or fearful because of the current situation. Encourage them with promises from Psalm 91 and tell them that Jesus loves them. There is always a good time to plant seeds of the Gospel in people’s hearts.
Our Patreon community is currently on a Bible Study series called “The Way Forward: How to Thrive Amidst Change”.
In a time of great fear, how can we as Christians thrive when the world is changing the way they do things? Many in the world are depressed and terrified because of the things that are happening around the world; the change ambushed most people so suddenly. Yes there is deep darkness covering the earth, but there is always hope for God’s children.
The Holy Spirit is giving us a word in season, showing us how to tap on the grace that is available now, and how to reign in life, even from your living room. I’m excited to see what He will show us in the days ahead!
This Bible Study series will be compiled into an eBook once we complete it.
Join us as a “God Every Morning” tier or above patron on Patreon to receive this new Bible Study series in our patron WhatsApp group chat. You will also receive the other rewards like devotionals by email every weekday, and all my eBooks.

#蒼蠅王 【十週年紀念版】
Lord of the Flies
作者|#威廉高汀 #WilliamGolding
譯者|#龔志成
類型|#文學小說 #翻譯文學
讀感|
「蒼蠅王」源自希伯來語「Ba’alzevuv」,「Baal」被當作「萬惡之首」;在英語中,「蒼蠅王」是糞便和汙物之王,因此也是醜惡的同義詞。
故事的大綱是在戰爭爆發時期,一群孩子搭乘飛機避難,不料途中卻遭到攻擊,迫降在無人的荒島等待救援,除了必須自給自足,還得想辦法求救,更重要的是克服心中的恐懼。
看完《蒼蠅王》真的心情會久久不能自己,故事中的孩子們年齡層設定在國小階段(6-12歲),但是卻在求生的過程中,顯現出人性黑暗面,在我心裡其實是難受的,畢竟主角只是一群孩子,但我想以孩子為主軸可能是想更深刻的描寫出「#性惡論 」以及在智慧還沒有完全發展的情況下,人性將會如何發展,也是文明與野蠻的對比,在孤島上,孩子們都害怕會有怪獸的出現,然而最可怕的怪獸其實都住在每一個人的心裡。在故事的開始,就可以隱隱約約的想到接下來的發展,便帶著不想接受事實的心情不斷看下去,怎麼也停不下來翻閱的那雙手。
其中個性較膽小的孩子說:「我怕他,所以我了解他。要是你怕一個人,你會恨他,卻又忍不住想著他。你會騙自己,說他其實還不錯,但每當你見到他,就會像氣喘病發作似的喘不過氣來。」
看完故事後,真心推薦把285頁龔志成(本書譯者)的導讀看完,當我看完這篇導讀以後吸收更多作者所要鋪陳的內涵,看似只是一部荒島求生的人性故事,其實他所要闡述的內容非常多也很深入,蒼蠅王真的是一部傑作。
⚡️以下有雷可以避開⚡️

我很想知道,如果孩子們沒有獲救,一直繼續待在荒島上,那麼那些追隨著傑克的孩子們,最後會不會因為恐懼而群起抗爭?
我也很想知道,如果只有拉爾夫被軍官發現,他會不會告訴軍官裡面的洞穴中還有另一群孩子?
最後,如果西蒙成功將怪獸的事實傳達給孩子們,難道就能成功保住秩序嗎?
看完這本書真的會一直無限的自我對話呢。
