Psalm 91 - The Psalm Of God's Protection #Part 2

Psalm 91 : 3 says "Surely He will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence."

What is a fowler's snare? A fowler's snare is a trap for birds. It is meant to catch an unsuspecting prey and confined the poor creature to that place.

The Bible says that God will surely, confirm plus guarantee, save you and i from traps in our lives that the devil or someone else placed there for us to fall into.

Have you ever heard or seen something like that in your daily life? Where a person is waiting to trap you in your words or in your actions and find some ways to push you to a corner and harm you. It may not be always physical harm, could be physcological or even emotional harm or a bondage you are trapped in.

Well. the good news is that The Lord will deliver you to a safe place. And even when you fall into it yourself, the Lord offers His protection to you.

Now what is a deadly pestilence? According to Strong's Concordance, a deadly pestilence means a destroying plague. It is life threatening. COuld be the SARS or bird flu etc.

The bible says that God will surely deliver and protect us from these harm.

Now you may ask... "U-jin, arent there stories where Christians die of such plaques of fall into sin and bondages, traps and some died from it?"

My answer is "Yes, but please do not allow such incidences to cause you to think that God does not divinely protect you."

The Key here is to trust God that He will provide protection to His people because He is a God who sees and a God who protects!

So let's not worry about the things we read in the news about diseases and germs and allow fear to come upon us. Let's stand on God's word and pray and live a life of freedom, trusting in God's divine protection and Intervention in our lives daily. God bless You!
