Our Hope & Confidence

There will be violent earthquakes, and in various places famines and [deadly and devastating] pestilences (plagues, epidemics); and there will be terrible sights and great signs from heaven. — Luke 21:11 (AMP) “But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence.” (Jeremiah 17:7 NLT) Have faith in Him in all circumstances, dear people. Open up your heart to Him; the True God shelters us in His arms. [pause] (Psalm 62:8 VOICE) …He is a shield to those who trust and take refuge in Him. (Proverbs 30:5b AMP)

Covered with His Feathers

He is the one who will rescue you from hunters’ traps and from deadly plagues. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge. His truth is your shield and armor.  — Psalm 91:3-4 (GW) When we continually abide under the shadow of the Almighty, we don't need to fear terrors of the night, the arrows that fly during the day, the plagues that roam the dark, or epidemics that strike at noon (Psalm 91:5-6). Our heavenly Father covers us with the feathers of His love. If we get ensnared by a trap of the enemy, He rescues us. His truth shields us from the lies of the evil one. Thank God for His faithfulness!

Set Apart

And in that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, in which My people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, in order that you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the land. — Exodus 8:22 (NKJV) Egypt suffered the effects of ten plagues, however, God kept His people safe in the land of Goshen. We are in this world, but not of this world. Set apart. We are to dwell in  the kingdom of God, where there is righteousness, peace and joy. Abide in the shadow of Almighty God. He is a strong tower and sanctuary. The world suffers many plagues, however, God's people are raised up above earthly circumstances and seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6). Let us remember, that the LORD is mighty in our midst. Amen!
