Reading for Day 3

The Lord is my security

I remember reading a periodical recently that a significant proportion of Christians are living in constant fear- the fear increased in the Richter scale after the September 11 massacre in New York in the year 2001. This fear is so extensive that it has paralysed peoples movements - in that some of these people are refusing to board and fly on an aeroplane.

Oh! how appropriate the words of our Lord Jesus is that in the last days he stated in Luke 21 verse 26 : “men swooning away or expiring with fear and dread and apprehension and expectation of the things that are coming on the world;”

But, Thank God for The Person of The Holy Spirit :

John 16 7) “However, I am telling you nothing but the truth when I say it is profitable (good, expedient, advantageous) for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you [into close fellowship with you]; but if I go away, I will send Him to you [to be in close fellowship with you]."


Thank you Father God for the Comforter and the Counsellor!

The Bible is a blessing from the Heavenly Father towards us but there are certain passages in the bible that I hold on to for dear life. One namely:

Psalm 91.
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!
3For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

Whenever I fly on an aeroplane or whatever transport I use this scriptural verses are declared , proclaimed , prophesied and decreed.

(Anton’s paraphrase of psalm 91)
 

I will certainly say that He is my Lord , that He is Anton’s Refuge and his Fortress, his God; and on Him I will lean and I will rely, and in Him I totally, absolutely, wholeheartedly [confidently] trust!

Alleluia!
