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. Psalm
91
"Once my people danced and
sang to me in the open fields. They sang to me and remembered how I had brought
them to the promised land. And now, many of you are wondering where that land
is. You look out into the distance, over the hills and the valleys. But I tell
you that it is not a distant place. For it is right near you.
The promised land is where
you believe in my promises. It is where you live above the troubles of this
world. It is a place in my spirit where you can be enraptured by my presence.
It is a place where the cares of this world float away.
For in this promised land you are hidden under my wings. You are in
the hollow of my hands. For in this promised land, the terror will not come
near your tent, nor the fowler or any other pestilence. The mountains will
quake, and the seas will rise, but if you are in my promised land, then you will
remain safe from the destruction that is around you."
Stephen Hanson
