He
that dwelleth 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 will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee
from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
– Psalm 91:1-3

Is it possible to live free
from fear in this dangerous and unpredictable world? Yes, it most
definitely is! Because protection is a solid promise of God.
But it's not a promise that's offered to just anyone. It is promised to those who abide in the Lord. To abide
means "to dwell, to remain and to continue." To abide in the shadow of
the Almighty is to live in continual union with Him, keeping His Word
and obeying His voice. Those who abide in the Lord can live without
dread of what the devil will do.
Let me make this clear
though—God's promise of protection doesn't guarantee that the devil will
leave you alone! It means that God will give you a way of escape every
time the devil rears his ugly face at you.
If you are afraid of
the dangers around you, spend more time in the Word and in prayer until
your trust in God overcomes your fear. Draw closer to the Lord until you
are abiding in the shadow of the Almighty and—no matter how dangerous
this world becomes—He shall surely deliver you.
