Simple Thoughts On Promises- 212

No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me," declares the LORD. (Isaiah 54:17)

In Psalm 91 we read of some of the deadly weapons that the devil forges against believer's.
...fowler's snare and the deadly pestilence. (Psalm 91:3)
...the terror of night and the arrow that flies by day. (Psalm 91:5)
...the pestilence that stalks in the darkness and the plague that destroys at midday. (Psalm 91:6)

But God says that none of these weapons will prevail. How & why can these weapons be forged against us and yet not prevail. The answer is given in the same psalm.
If you make the Most High your dwelling - even the LORD, who is my refuge - then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. 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. (Psalm 91:9-12)

As believers we must remember that God is our refuge and fortress; that we dwell in the shelter of the Most High and rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Because we love God and acknowledge his name, he says,
"I will rescue you and I will protect you..... (Psalm 91:14)
Whan we call upon him, he will answer us; he will be with us in trouble, he will deliver us and honor himself.

God assures you this day through his Word that if you dwell in his shelter and live a life pleasing to him, "No weapon forged against you will prevail."God bless you.
