Psalm 91- The Lord protects me

I live in the shelter of the Most High
And I find rest in the Shadow of the Almighty
This I declare about the Lord on High,
He alone is my rock and my safety
He is my refuge and where I go to hide
When my enemies surround me
And a thousand fall at my side
Traps and snares try to grab me
But the Lord rescues and I rejoice gladly
Deadly diseases and a world of evil things
Yet My God covers me and protects me under His wings
His promises are yes and true
Our armour, protecting me and you
I will not be afraid of the terrors in the night
Though the world tries to fill each heart with fright
The Lord goes before me, He strengthens me with His might
No evil can touch me, my prayers reach His heights
For I know He hears each word I pray
Protecting me each night and every day
I have made the Lord my refuge, a shelter is He
Therefore He’s promised no evil can conquer me
Plagues cannot touch those I love
His angels protect me, commissioned from above
They hold me up with their hands
And protect me as I walk through this land
I love my God, whose throne is on High
And Jesus, His Son, on His right Side
He is with me through all my troubles and fear
Always besides me, always near.

Lessons I learned this morning  in Deuteronomy 1-2

1. Don’t fear the giants nor be dismayed with their strength
2. The Lord goes before me and fights for me
3. I remember all He has done for me – and I strengthen myself as I remember His good works
4. Deut 1:17: Do not be afraid in any man’s presence
5. Deut 1:21 Do not fear nor be discouraged.
6. Do not speak words of doubt or fear – nor allow yourself to worry and ponder on them in your thoughts
7. Though the evil that has begun to show itself in the world seems powerful and mighty,  we can trust in the Lord to fight for us- and protect each one of us from evil
8. The Lord does not want us to be terrified. He goes before us and He will fight for us
9. “and in the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you cam to this place” – and so he will carry us though the times that lie ahead, as a father carries his son.
10. The Lord was angry with all those who worried, doubted and were full of fear. Yikes!  I need to fix my thoughts – Phil. 4:8
11. Don’t fear – even if they are mighty and powerful
12. Treat your brothers and sister’s right. Be fair and kind
13. Stand up! For the Lord you God goes before you.
14. ” This day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the nations under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you” Deut 2:25
