5You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, 6nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.Psalm 91:5–6
During World War II, German planes bombed London. Houses were leveled. But there was one that remained standing amidst the rubble. Its owner said that when she read Psalm 121:4, which says, “Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep,” she told the Lord, “Lord, since You don’t sleep, then there is no point in both of us keeping awake. I will sleep while You keep watch.” And she did, while the Lord protected her and her house.
In 2005, terrorists attacked London’s public transport system. That day, a Singaporean girl found herself unexpectedly late for work and could not get to the train station in time to board her usual train. When she finally neared the station, she realized that it had been bombed just a few minutes earlier. Her mother, who worships in our church, believes that God protected her daughter that day.
God wants you to know that you have round-the-clock protection — “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.”
He protects you from “the terror by night”, which could refer to evils such as rape, kidnap or murder. He promises you protection from “the arrow that flies by day”. This could refer to bullets from a crazy sniper, drive-by shootings or home-made rockets fired into your territory.
God also shields you from “the pestilence that walks in darkness”, referring to viruses which you cannot see. You don’t have to be afraid of deadly viruses lurking somewhere or wonder if some deadly disease is developing in your body.
God also doesn’t want you to be afraid of “the destruction that lays waste at noonday”, such as a tsunami hitting the beach resort you are at, or a bomb going off in the shopping mall you are in.
You need not be afraid because God, who neither slumbers nor sleeps, is watching over you 24 hours a day!
Thought For The Day

He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. Psalm 121:3 NIV
I used to worry while driving that I would get into a car accident. I would play scenarios out in my mind as I was driving. Then one day the Lord told me not to worry and that he watches over me both in the day and at night. Amen Lord Jesus that you are always with me, even while I am driving my car.
Amen. His covenant for me. Am a living witness as an evangelist. Praies God

I thank God for such a preacher as Joseph Prince. He preaches the Bible with truth. There is no beating about the bush. I have learned a lot from him.
A few years ago, we wanted to fly to London,… We were unable to get the flights. So. we fly into Rome and we were to make our way north. After a short time in Rome, we heard of the bombings in London,…We were saddened but grateful to be safe. Eventually , we made our way from Paris to London on the chunnel train. When we arrived in London, the Bobbies seemed to be on high alert. We had rented a car and drove out to see some of the countryside around Oxford. ( Although, initially, we had thought we would first do some site seeing in London .) When we arrived there we heard the news about another bombing. We were saddened. But, we knew the Lord had rerouted our plans for our safety. He is faithful!!!!!!
Proverbs 16:9
A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure.
Proverbs 16:8-10 (in Context) Proverbs 16 (Whole Chapter) Other Translations
We were so grateful that the Lord had redirected our steps.
We prayed for the people of London and still do. We love London and the people there!!!!!!
Be strong and of good courage… How many times does God say ” DO NOT BE AFRAID” I should do a study on that and count them, must be a 1000x… Your beautiful… LOVE and PRAYERS
Very encouraging.
The Lord is my SHEPHERD, I shall not want He maketh me to lie down iin greener pastures…!!!!!!
