A Message of Comfort to the Fearful


A Message of Comfort to the Fearful

Many are fearful due to the corona virus pandemic, as well as the economic crisis. However, the Lord our God is in control, and His Word contains messages of comfort and protection. Psalm 91:1-10 is a message of both comfort and protection for those who walk in righteousness. Zeph 2:1 is a reference to God hiding those who seek righteousness and humility during the tribulation. This scripture is in agreement with Rev 12.

Psalm 91:1 

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the [a]fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and [b]buckler.
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,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

Zephaniah 2:Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, O undesirable nation,
Before the decree is issued, Or the day passes like chaff, Before the Lord’s fierce anger comes upon you, Before the day of the Lord’s anger comes upon you! Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth,
Who have upheld His justice. Seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden
In the day of the Lord’s anger.
