The WARRIOR's protection


 Psalm 91:1

King James Version

91 He that dwelleth 

in the secret place of the most High 

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.


Life is a battle.

A battle with the unseen.

But a battle with the known.

The born again servant knows who he fights.

He knows the devil's devices.

He is aware of his crafty moves.

All because JESUS told him.

And SPIRIT guides his every step.

JESUS shows us how to overcome evil.

We are confident in GOD's protection.

And His unswerving love for His faithful.

This chapter sustains us:

Psalm 91:2-16

King James Version

2 I will say of the Lord, 

He is my refuge and my fortress: 

my God; 

in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee 

from the snare of the fowler, 

and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, 

and under his wings shalt thou trust: 

his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; 

nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; 

nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, 

and ten thousand at thy right hand; 

but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see 

the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the Lord, 

which is my refuge, 

even the most High, 

thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, 

neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, 

to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, 

lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: 

the young lion and the dragon 

shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, 

therefore will I deliver him: 

I will set him on high, 

because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: 

I will be with him in trouble; 

I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, 

and shew him my salvation.


We remain steady, at our posts.

Waiting for our Master's command.

That we may know what to do, where to be, how to act.

We rely on His EVERY command.

Thus, we wait, watch, warn, worship.

His will, ways, and wisdom are planted upon our hearts.

We remain victorious.

We look forward to what Charles Spurgeon spoke of:

Life is one long struggle 

from which we never cease 

till we hear the word, 

"Thy warfare is accomplished".
