Darkness and Light
July 6, 2015
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, . . . nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness.
Psalm 91:5-6
When I was a boy, I delivered newspapers to about 140 homes on two streets that were connected by a cemetery. Since I delivered a morning newspaper, I had to be out at 3:00 a.m. walking through that cemetery in the darkness. Sometimes I would be so frightened that I would actually run! I was afraid until I was standing safely under a streetlight on the other side. The scary darkness was dispelled by the light.
The psalmist understood the connection between fear and darkness, but he also knew that God is greater than those fears. He wrote, You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness (Ps. 91:5-6). Neither terrors of night nor evil in the darkness need to drive us to fear. We have a God who sent His Son, the Light of the World (John 8:12).
In the light of Gods love and grace and truth, we can find courage, help, and strength to live for Him.
Lord, I come to You, the Light of the World. I want You to bring Your light into the darkness of my fears.For help in overcoming worry, read discoveryseries.org/q0711
You need not fear the darkness if you are walking with the Light of the World.
:
Psalm 91 celebrates the safety and security of those who trust in God. The psalmist warns of danger from insidious schemes of men, uninvited troubles, physical attacks, sickness, and disasters. But the Lord protects those who trust in Him. This psalm does not promise immunity from danger, but security in the midst of it. Various metaphors are used to describe the safety of the Lord including the secret place of the Most High, the shadow of the Almighty, a refuge, and a fortress (vv. 1-2). He will cover [us] with His feathers, under His wings we take refuge (v. 4), and His faithful promises are [our] armor and protection (v. 4 nlt).

Good evening, Pro....you did good. Hope your co-worker feels better soon.
Reggie is doing well for Mom, but, boy, are a lot of the doorways getting beat up. I took the door off the office, but came home to the stop separated from the jamb on the other side.
Oh well....at least she can get around when I’m not here. She still has some independence.
I passed my eye evaluation on Thursday and cataract surgery on the first eye is Thursday the 16th.

A very pleasant good Monday morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.
((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. Thanks for this morning's thread. Star.
We slept through the fireworks on the 4th. There were a couple of people firing crackers late at night that woke us up though.
