Passages*:
Psalms
64:7-10
7. But God will shoot
them with arrows; suddenly they will be struck
down.
8. He will turn their own
tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all
who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
9. All mankind will fear;
they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what
he has done.
10. Let the righteous rejoice
in the Lord and take refuge in him; let all the
upright in heart praise him!
Psalms
91:10-12
10. then no harm will
befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11. For he will command his
angels concerning you to guard you in all your
ways;
12. they will lift you up in
their hands, so that you will not strike your foot
against a stone.
Psalms 119:114
You are my refuge and
my shield; I have put my hope in your word.
Psalms 121:5
The Lord watches over
you — the Lord is your shade at your right
hand;
Psalms 121:7
The Lord will keep you
from all harm — he will watch over your
life;
Joel 2:32
And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount
Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as
the Lord has said, among the survivors whom the
Lord calls.
Question
What does "shade at your
right hand" mean in Psalms 121:5 above?
Practical
help
Tired from resisting Web
porn? Not tired of, tired from?
Standing strong against
temptation can fatigue the best of us, no matter how
committed we are to righteousness.
It's good to know that God has
shady rest spots along the journey — places not
far from the battle but well out of harm's way. What
— and where — are these oases?
The what is the Bible,
and the where is anyplace you can read a verse
or two from it, such as at a coffee house or park.
Don't think of Scripture just as an ammo source
(which, of course, it is) against the enemy but as a
cool "retreat from the heat."
And don't worry about the battle
overtaking you while you rest. The same verse that
promises "shade at your right hand" (Psalms 121:5
above) assures your protection while you rest: "The
Lord watches over you."
So don't give up the battle;
take a break from it in the shade of God's
Word.
