Psalm 91 cont’d: You will not be afraid of the terror by night,
Or of the arrow that flies by day;
Of the pestilence
that stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.
Let’s look at these two verses,
literally.
What terrifies you at
night? Thoughts? Fear? The future?
What arrows fly at you during
the day? Ones that attack your self-worth? Discouragement? Depression? Despair?
What pestilence stalks you in
the darkness? Fear of falling? Abandonment?
And what lays you waste at
noon? Weariness? Hunger? Disillusionment?
These verses cover it all. Whatever poses a threat to you during the
course of any given day or night is NOT something that should cause you
fear. In fact, these verses start out
with “You will not be afraid…”
If that’s a promise given in his
word, then it’s a promise we can grab hold to.
Don’t be afraid. There’s no reason to fear because you are
under his wings.
