“I will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’” – Psalm 91:2
In this Psalm about God’s faithful protection against terrible enemies, including disease, we are encouraged to find our strength, comfort, and protection in God. During difficult times, God is our refuge, our strength, our fortress.
He is always with us, He always hears us, and He loves us. In Christ He protects us spiritually and gives us the strength we need to face the challenges, turmoil, foes, and fears that surround us! Ultimately He will deliver all who trust in Christ into His glorious presence where we will enjoy peace, comfort, healing, and wholeness forever.
Of course, we must also be wise in what we do in the face of danger. Satan tried to tempt Jesus into testing God by quoting this very Psalm. Jesus rightly rebuked the devil for suggesting that He ever put God to the test. So be wise, take appropriate precautions, and rest comfortably in the strength and protection of the Lord!
