GOD’S FULL PROTECTION
PSALM 91
Psalm 91:1. “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
What is the secret place of the most High? The secret place of the most high is the place of salvation in which the believer is walking perfectly before God. What is the shadow of the Almighty? The shadow of the Almighty is the place of protection. In the Bible, there are several people who have been beneficiaries of the protection of the mighty hand of God.
One of them was the children of Israel in the land of Egypt, who escaped all the plaques that God brought upon the Egyptians in order to set His people free. They also experienced his hand of protection on their way out of Egypt when God protected them with a pillar of fire by night and a cloud by day. Protection is a benefit of God’s people; but you cannot benefit from the protective hand of God unless you are in His “Secret Place.”
Daniel was another recipient of God’s protection. A decree had gone out in the days of Daniel that no one should pray to his God for 30 days; notwithstanding, Daniel continued to pray to His God three times daily. The result for this faithfulness to God was that He was thrown in a den of lions that were famished. Daniel was saved by God and came out untouched. What a Mighty God we serve; even the animals obey Him!
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were also subjects of the protective power of God. They were cast into a fiery furnace because they refused to bow down and worship the idol of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon; but were saved and came out unscathed. Not one of the hairs on their heads was singed. There was not even the smell of smoke on their bodies. God had moved in His greatness and rescued them. Isn’t ‘God able to do the same for us today?
How do we experience this “full protection power” of our God? Psalm 91:4 states, “His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.” What is His truth? His word is His truth. Hiding His word in our hearts, keeping His commandments, and following His instructions shall be your shield and buckler (a tool of protection for you). This is what turns on the full protection coverage of God in your life and causes you to be a recipient of His full protection like those mentioned before. The Bible did not say that Daniel was saved but one limb was chopped off. It also did not say the Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego received minor injuries. They were all completely protected.
Psalm 91:11. “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” Every believer is entitled to the protection of angels. Angels are ministering spirits, which God uses to help His people in various situations. They are the right and entitlement of every believer. They are a benefit of being a part of the kingdom of God or remaining in the secret place of the most High God.
You cannot have this protection if you are not living as a righteous woman or man. These benefits are for people who walk in the fear of the Lord. Throughout Psalm 91 there is a host of promises for the true believer; but these benefits cannot be enjoyed when sin is present. Romans 6:23 states, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Psalm 91:1. “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”

“Mommy, When is Thanksgiving Going to be Over?”
A few years ago I was not grateful for something that I had until God took it away, and then I became grateful for what I now did not have. A one-year trial reminded me about being thankful in all things. From time to time, we get ourselves caught in the web of ingratitude, and we forget that it is a command to give thanks for all things at all times. This should not just be a once-in-the-year occasion; but a way of life for all believers.
Giving thanks is a powerful weapon for every Christian to avail him- or herself to. Many, many years ago someone told me something that should have crushed me like ice; but my reaction surprised the perpetrator, who in the end looked as if he had been devastated. What did I do? I shrieked a great big Halleluiah, thank you Jesus! And that left the enemy dumbfounded. This person’s face became flushed with embarrassment; and the embarrasser became the embarrassed one.
I have been dug out of many holes quickly, through a heart of thanksgiving; because the lips of thanksgiving seem to trigger the miracle working power of God in our lives, which causes God to run to our rescue. It also creates the peace of God in our hearts, gives us the right perspective on things, makes us walk by faith, and thus puts us in right standing with the Almighty Father. So, if your child ever asks you on Thanksgiving Day, “Mommy, when is Thanksgiving going to be over?” Your answer will be that, thanksgiving is never over in the life of a believer.
I Thessalonians 5:18. "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
Merry Christmas. Grace and Peace.

Proverbs 2:1-5
"My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; v2. So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; v3. Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; v4. If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; v5. Then shalt thou understand theh fear of the Lord, and find theh knowledge of God."
