Manna for Your Morning

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. A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not approach you. — Psalm 91:5-7 (NASB) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear… (1 John 4:18) and the love our heavenly Father has for us perfect and unfailing. He will cover you and completely protect you with His pinions, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and a wall. (Psalm 91:4 AMP) For you have made the LORD, my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place. No evil will befall you, nor will any plague come near your tent. For He will give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. (Psalm 91:9-11 NASB)

The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds’ feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]! — Habakkuk 3:19 (AMP) We are not to let the enemy terrorize us, nor allow fear to freeze us in our tracks. Instead, we are to make spiritual progress, upward and forward, to the high places God has designated for each one of us. Be courageous and continue to walk, and even run, for He is our strength and our personal bravery. Victorious we stand, not by might nor by power, but by His Spirit, working in and through us!

He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, — Psalm 91:4-5 (NKJV) There will be days when our enemy will send his flaming arrows our way. First Peter 4:12 says, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you (1 Peter 4:12 NIV). However, we can find protection under the wings of our heavenly Father. His truth is our shield. It will extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. When the enemy tells you, "it's impossible" lift up your shield of truth —all things are possible with our great God!

And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham; do not fear, for I am with you.” — Genesis 26:24a (NKJV) You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day (Psalm 91:5). For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). The LORD is our light and our salvation —whom shall we fear? Psalm 27:2 says, when evildoers close in on you, they will stumble and fall. Don’t be afraid to take that step of faith and do what God has called you to do. He is with you!
