God’s Promise of Protection
"He 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. (Psalm 91: 1-3) [Ref.reading: Psalm 91:1-18]
God is a shelter. In His shadow is protection and safety and rest. That is what is implied in the first verse of the Psalm. But we must put ourselves there. How? By simple faith.
This is confirmed to us in this very Psalm; verse 9
“For you have made the Lord, my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place”.
The children of Israel, enslaved for 400 years to the Pharaohs of Egypt, were given instructions for the night they were to be delivered. After slaying the Passover lamb and sprinkling it’s blood on their doors, they were to go inside, and roast the lamb, and eat of it and the other elements of the meal, and stay there until morning.

That was all they had to do; enter in, and stay, and partake of the lamb.

In Psalm 91:1, the Holy Spirit is repeating to us, the instructions given to those children of Israel so long ago. “Enter in. Dwell in the shelter of the Most High. Stay inside. Abide in the shadow of the Almighty”.

And, resting in His shelter and His protection, proclaim Him to be your refuge and your fortress and the One in whom you trust!
LET THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO!

Now in this day of time, this world dangerous and unpredictable place to live in, but it is possible to live from fear, because it is a promise God will give us protection.  This promise is not for just anybody, it is only for those who abide in the Lord.  To abide in him is to obey God's commandments and obey his voice.  His voice is the bible.  Those who abide in the Lord, don’t have to worry about the devil will do.  Now God's promise of protection doesn't guarantee that the devil will leave you alone! It means that God  will give you a way of escape every time the devil messes with you by showing his ugly face.  Spend more time in the word of God and in prayer to not be afraid of the dangers around you.  God will protect you like mother bird protecting her young.  yes danger will be all around us, just know that God is our savior. So when Satan shows his face just laugh and say "In the name of  Jesus, my Lord will get me out of this situation and protect me from any more future dangers, because God hears my prayers and will take care of me."  May you stay blessed every day, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
