If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. -Psalm91:9(NLT)
NO EVIL WILL CONQUER GOD’S PEOPLE
A poem and essay by ILMA
If you run to the one true God, he will give you refuge
Believe in him and no one can really crush you
If you make Jesus your shelter and sanctuary
You will overcome sin and have victory.
Everything is created by God and he has power
You need not be afraid for the enemy will cower
There is no other shelter safer than the Almighty
Remember to abide in him so you will have security.

There is really nowhere safe in this world we live in. There is so much noise, disorder and
greed surrounding us. The bible says that as long as we are living in this place, we will have trouble. We, humans like to think that we are able to take care of ourselves and protect us from evil around us. The truth is, the devil is the ruler of this world (John 12:31). So as long as we are alive, we will have struggles being good because the world’s standard is all about selfishness, greed and control.
The bible gives us another alternative to thrive in this world. Run to the one true God for shelter because he will ensure you protection.
PRAYER
Thank you for protecting those who seek you Lord.
REFLECTION
Why do you think that people don’t run to God even though we know he can protect us?
