PROMISE #104 - APRIL 14
Promise #104:
If you make your home in Me, then no evil will come your way.
Psalm 91:9-10 (WEB)
9 Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
10 no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
Psalm 91 is an amazing chapter for anyone who struggles with the fear of not being safe. It powerfully portrays safety and security, telling us that we live in the secret place of the Most High. In today's promise, we read that when we make our home in the Lord, no evil will come our way because we live in the fortress of the living God.
Many of us have watched movies or read stories about huge castles surrounded by high walls, motes, and scores of soldiers. However, even that picture of safety and security pales in comparison to the sense of protection we feel when we abide under the shadow of our Papa's wing.
Jesus told us that in this world we will face trouble, but we can take heart because He has overcome the world. Living in the secret place does not mean we are shielded from trouble; rather, it means that when troubles arise, He is the safe haven where we can find safety and security.
My prayer today is that each of us would feel the safety and security that comes from knowing that we have a refuge in the heart of our God and Father, where we can live all the days of our lives. I pray that fear would have no place in our lives as we make our habitation in the living God.

Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you for the safe place I have, nestled under the shadow of your wing in my forever union with Jesus. Help me remain in this space of your unconditional love and acceptance as I abide in the safety of your embrace every moment of every day. I choose to fix my eyes on eternal things today so I do not get distracted by the broken systems of this world that would want me to be afraid.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
