Psalm 91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; The picture attached to "that flieth" is "to see, to speak, becoming nailed to".
This is a solemn reminder that our words and the words of others are arrows. They can be poisonous arrows or they can be arrows whose tips are bathed in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. The psalmist reminds us that we need not fear the poisonous words that fly our way. However, we can choose to make our words a blessing to everyone we see and speak to. Blessings!!!

Psalm 91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; The word picture behind "nor for the arrow" is "to cut off from harvest".
It is the enemies intent to destroy the harvest in our lives by peppering the harvest field with his fiery darts. Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. The Lord of the harvest (our shield of faith) is intent on protecting His harvest in us. Blessings!!! Psalm 91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; The word picture behind "for the terror" is "to speak, to cut off from the way of life".
Beware of the words that you hear spoken today, because they have the potential to plant the seed of terror that will cut you off from He who is the Way of life. Philipians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. Blessings!!! Psalm 91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; The word picture behind "thou shalt not be afraid" is "the hand you see".
In every situation of life you can choose to see the hand of the Father covering, protecting and stopping your enemy in his tracks. Or, you can see the hand of the enemy of your soul coming to steal, kill and destroy with his fist of destruction and death. Which hand will you choose to see at work in your life today? Blessings!!! |
