He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psa 91:11.
Undoubtedly this is one of our favorite verse, which we would have heard many pastors and men of GOD use when they prayed over us. But, have we been taking this verse so very easy?
- Who are angels? Heb 1:14 -“Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (KJV)”. Did you notice the word “all”?
- What are they capable of? Psa 103:20- “. . . angels, that excel in strength”
- What do they do? Psa 103:20 – “… do his commandments, hearing unto the voice of his word”
- Who knows this? Matt 4:6 and Luke 4:10 – SATAN.
Having seen all the above, we surely would get encouraged and get ready to face any situation boldly. But WAIT !!! the above is only one side of the coin. The other side is as to whom does this apply to? Psa 34:7 – “ . . . ROUND ABOUT THEM THAT FEAR HIM . . .”
So, as we begin our every day routines, let us question ourselves – Do we fear him? The BIBLE tells us in Pro 23:17 – “. . . be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long”. For sure, we will not do many things that we do so easily if we have this fear constantly on our mind.
Let us not fear people, places, problems, pain etc but rather fear the Almighty who has our today in control.
