Psa. 91:12‭-‬13They [the angels] will lift you up in their hands, so that you do not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread upon the lion and cobra; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot. I am not proud to admit it, but I spent a rather large part of…

Psa. 91:9‭-‬11Because you have made the Lord, my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil will befall you, nor will any plague come near your tent. For He will command His angels in regard to you, to protect and defend and guard you in all your ways. The world is full of…
