PROMISE FOR DECEMBER 14TH

"Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day. Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday." Psalm 91:5-6

REMEMBER the Prophet David's explanation of our day with its arrows, pestilences, stumbling blocks, etc., and the declaration that a thousand would fall at our side. Let us not forget either our Lord's positive assurances, that He would keep His very own, His elect--those making their calling and election sure....The shielded ones will be those who live very near to the Lord--not only outwardly, but in their heart experience. These very elect have the assurance that God will give His messengers charge concerning them, so that the feet shall not be dashed against stumbling stones, but be borne up, lifted higher by the Divinely appointed agencies of Jehovah. (Psalm 91) R. 4438, c.2, p.5.
