Psalm 91:3 - Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

Recently, I saw a magazine article about the outbreak of diseases and epidemics of global proportions.  Many scientists feel that a widespread disease of things that we have heard about, such as bird-flu and similar deadly viruses could easily break out worldwide.  As I read the article, I immediately thought of the Scripture in Psalm 91:3.  It says, the Lord will deliver those who stay close under His protective hand.  He will deliver us from the noisome pestilence.  Why did it use the term noisome?  That word noisome means deadly.  That means the diseases that medicine cannot heal and that kill masses of people.  Yet, God already has a remedy for His people to escape deadly disease, even if that disease is in your own hometown.  God has you covered!  Covered with what?  Psalm 91:1, says you are covered with His wings.  Stay close to God, and trust Him.  That may mean you have to be careful how much you listen to what the news channel or the scientists report.  We need to listen in this day to what God has to say above all else.  Also notice that the verse above says, surely.  In other words, you don't have to wonder if it will hold true for you.  It WILL hold true if you stay close to God and listen to Him instead of all that the world has to say.  If you listen to the world's reports long enough then that is what you will believe and expect eventually.  Today, no matter what deadly diseases may plague this planet, rest assured that surely he shall deliver thee! 

Lord, I thank You that I am safe under Your protective hand.  I choose today to stay close to You and make Your words the most important report in my life.  I expect to be completely delivered from all communicable diseases, deadly viruses and infections.   None of these things shall touch me or my family, in the Name of Jesus.  Surely You shall deliver me today and everyday!  Thank You Lord!  Amen.
