Luke 10:19
Behold,
I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over
all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Years ago, while traveling on a domestic flight in the United States, I
was seated next to a woman whose whole body was tense with fear.
Concerned, I asked if I could help her in any way. Between sobs, she
told me about her fear of flying. I told her, “Don’t worry. I am on
board. Nothing will happen to the plane.” I did not say it with pride. I
said it knowing that the Lord was on board the plane with me and that I
would have a safe journey because He has promised that “nothing shall
by any means hurt you”.
Once, when Jesus was in the boat with his disciples, He told them, “Let
us cross over to the other side.” (Mark 4:35) Believing that they would
cross over to the other side, He fell asleep in the stern. A great
storm arose, but it could not rouse Him from His sleep, only the cries
of His terrified disciples did. They had forgotten what Jesus had said
about them crossing over to the other side. They had also forgotten that
with Jesus in the boat with them, there was no possibility of them
going down. Nothing could by any means hurt them because Jesus was with
them.
Even being thrown into a fiery furnace could not hurt three young
Hebrew men because they believed that God would deliver them. They had
proclaimed to the heathen King Nebuchadnezzar, “...our God whom we serve
is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will
deliver us from your hand, O king.” (Daniel 3:17) And in the midst of
their fiery trial, their deliverer not only walked with them in the
fire, He also delivered them from all harm. King Nebuchadnezzar even
said, “Look! I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and
they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”
(Daniel 3:25).
Beloved, in the midst of your storm or fiery trial, because Jesus is with you, nothing shall by any means hurt you! |
