Psalm 91:1-8
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 snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust; His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day.
As we approach the tenth anniversary of 9/11 when tragedy struck our shores; this day will always be remembered for the deviant act by those who made a decision to bring hurt and harm to many who didn't know them nor who would have purposely sought to destroy them or their country and countrymen. As I sat and watch in horror as those planes flew into the twin towers I couldn't help but wonder what was happening as many other Americans asked the same question. This cowardly act brought America together in many ways. Prayers were being prayed, heartaches were being felt and acts of kindness were being shared, but through it all we (Americans) have withstood this cowardly act as measures are taken to ensure safety.

Leaders and those who protect our borders and provide many other forms of safety are to be praised for their efforts. We know that evil still exist and many are still trying to wreck havoc on us and this is not of God. We know for certain that overall America is a God-fearing nation and reflecting on our scripture text we know that true safety is in God. As we continue abiding in the secret place of the Almighty we can be assured of safety from His almighty wings. Why, because He is our refuge and fortress. It is noteworthy to say that prayers of the righteous availeth much and I know for certain there are prayer warriors who are praying for peace and safety the world over. Just as God transcends all boundaries so does prayers.
Lets pray, LORD thank You for Your protective angels that You have dispatched to watch over us. For this I say thank You. In Jesus name Amen.
