"Say this: God you are my refuge. I trust in you and am safe! That's right - he rescues you from hidden traps, shields you from deadly hazards. His huge outstretched arms protect you and under them you are perfectly safe; his arms fend off all harm. Fear nothing! Not wild wolves in the night, not flying arrows in the day, not disease that prowls through the darkness, not disaster that erupts at high noon. Even though others succumb all around, and drop like flies right and left, no harm will even graze you. You will stand untouched, watch it all from a distance, watch the wicked turn into corpses. Yes, because God is your refuge, the High God your very own home, evil cannot get close to you, harm cannot get through the door. He ordered his angels to guard you wherever you go. If you stumble they will catch you; their job is to keep you from falling. You will walk unharmed among lions and snakes, and kick young lions and serpents from the path. And if you will hold on to me for dear life, says God, I'll get you out of any trouble. I will give you the best of care if you'll only get to know and trust me. Call me and I will answer, be at your side in bad times; I will rescue you, then throw you a party!
Pretty encouraging if you ask me!
Great Prediction! I was encouraged. I received a Message Bible for Christmas. I've been enjoying reading it, so many things have just jumped off the page. Thank you Pastor Jerry!
