Scripture lesson: Psalm 91:1-10 You can't be harmed

Time to reflect: These kind of Bible passages that seem to suggest that the faithful cannot be harmed are always troublesome because we all know people , if we are selves are this way, who are like Job and suffer greatly when evil people flourish. This subject is too big for a whole library of books much less a PrayerBit. However, most people have given some thought to this problem. What solutions work for you.

Moving Through The Day: Meditate on the concept of “fairness” from God's perspective – God's perspective of fairness may be different from ours.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
       will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
       my God, in whom I trust."

 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
       and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with his feathers,
       and under his wings you will find refuge;
       his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

 You will not fear the terror of night,
       nor the arrow that flies by day,

nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
       nor the plague that destroys at midday.

A thousand may fall at your side,
       ten thousand at your right hand,
       but it will not come near you.

You will only observe with your eyes
       and see the punishment of the wicked.

If you make the Most High your dwelling—
       even the LORD, who is my refuge-

 then no harm will befall you,
       no disaster will come near your tent.
