Psalm 31, 91

I don’t know why Jesus love me; I don't why He cared; I don't know why He sacrificed His life; O, but I'm glad, so glad He did!

91:3 "He Himself will deliver You from the destructive plague." Lord, we're surrounded by destructive spirits. You know I'm preaching on that Sunday because on the road to the cross You came across destructive spirits. There are spirits that want to destroy my church, my family, my ministry, and all my relationships -- even the relationship I have with You. I can see it in the self-destructive ways people live. It's as if they are driven by an invisible enemy…which they are!

But I thank You, Lord, for the promise that You Yourself will deliver me v3. That Your faithfulness will be" a protective shield." Praise You, Father, for Your faithfulness and goodness.

You even indicate that there are angels You will give orders to concerning my protection v11,12. Here's the thing…help me be somewhat worthy of Your protection. I have little to offer Your Kingdom: only the gifts and abilities, love and grace that come from You.

I do pray, in the Name of Jesus Christ, and according to the power of His blood, that You would put a hedge of protection around my family; then around my church family. Without You, Lord, we are in a battle with no weapons and no chance to succeed.

To God be all the glory… and may You have the glory forever and ever. Thank You for Jesus; than You for my salvation; my family; my ministry; my health… my eternal home in Heaven.
