Monday
Read Psalm 91:1-6, 14-16
Live under the protection
of God Most High
and stay in the shadow
of God All-Powerful.
2
Then you will say to the Lord,
“You are my fortress,
my place of safety;
you are my God,
and I trust you.”
3
The Lord will keep you safe
from secret traps
and deadly diseases.
4
He will spread his wings
over you
and keep you secure.
His faithfulness is like
a shield or a city wall.[a]
5
You won’t need to worry
about dangers at night
or arrows during the day.
6
And you won’t fear diseases
that strike in the dark
or sudden disaster at noon.
The Lord says,
“If you love me
and truly know who I am,
I will rescue you
and keep you safe.
15
When you are in trouble,
call out to me.
I will answer and be there
to protect and honor you.
16
You will live a long life
and see my saving power.”

Think
"Whoever goes to the LORD for safety..." - Psalm 91:1
In John's gospel Jesus says: "I am the way... no one comes to the father but through me..." This doesn't mean that Christians have some sort of access control - it is a reminder that Jesus himself is the gate keeper. Not people. Not institutions... the Psalmist reminds us that God doesn't turn anyone away.
Pray
Lord, I turn to you for safety. Thank you for welcoming me into your loving arms.
