Re: Verse reading–Psalm 91 (day three)
“For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.” We can say, “If I live according to God’s ways, I’m invulnerable.” We can say that, but we’re wrong. The truth is, we’re never more vulnerable than when we do live according to God’s ways. Our protection is this: We do not have to fear those things that could kill us—even thought they might. When we learn our way of life from the Lord, we find everything in life—even pain—rich with the beauty of the great and true story of God’s love bringing us along. We would never hear that story if we strained to hear only some assurance that we’re indestructible.
