Psalm 91
Do you know that feeling you get when you are hit by a revelation in the least favourable situation?
For me, that happened following an incident last year around June. The details are a little still painful for me to get into, but I can say now what I couldn't say then. And that is that it was well worth it.
The first part of that revelation was that I spend too much time fighting my visible enemies, and not enough time defending myself against my invisible enemies.
The second part of that revelation pointed me towards the realisation that nothing written in the Bible is to be taken for granted. I realised at that moment the importance of putting on the armour of God and creating a fire hedge around us and our loved ones that no enemy fiery darts can penetrate.
It is during this time that I took it upon myself to start to memorise Moses' Psalm 91. It is an incredibly powerful Psalm that I feel applies to each and every major attack that we or our loved ones could ever face.
As I look at the world today through the lens of our media, I cannot help but see a lot of what I am forewarned about in the Bible. I don't think that one has to be a woman to be affected by the dehumanising stories of the gang rapes in India nor do you have to be a loved one affected by the recent cowardly act of terrorism in Boston, to see much of what 2 Timothy 3 talks about.
My honest prayer is that we will all come to full knowledge of the power that comes in speaking forth God's words of protection over us and our loved ones.
Please continue to pray with me for the people of Boston and especially the loved ones of the victims of this heartless attack.
I Bid You Shalom,
Jacqueline
