The Shadow of the Almighty
Scott Maze
Psalm 91:1-16
52 soldiers from the small town of Seadrift, TX went off to fight WW II. The photos of these soldiers were placed inside a church there in the small town. During the war, 15-20 mothers gathered around those pictures of these 52 soldiers during their time away. They prayed Psalm 91 as they knelt in together asking God to bring their sons home. God heard the prayers of these mothers and all 52 sons came home from all over the globe. One of the survivors said this, ''We knew God was going to take care of us. Our mothers were praying for us, and everybody here at the church was praying.'' Another of the soldiers said this, ''Well, we knew that we were in the hands of God.''
2020 has been a roller-coaster year for most of us. How poised are you when anxiety? People cope with worrying in a number of ways - some drink to dismiss it while others shop for a distraction.
Psalm 91 can steady you when anxiety crashes down on you. If Psalm 91 isn't already special to you, then my hope is for you is that it's about to be. Psalm 91 has been connected to soldiers and policemen for the past century or more.
I don't think Psalm 91 is rabbit's foot that can guarantee your loved ones safety in this world. But I do think Psalm 91 offers you a great deal of peace in a world where peace is missing. Because it's a rich storehouse of protection when evil hot's breath is breathing down your neck.
To understand the richness of this psalm, you need to go back to the middle part of last century.

The five men were trying to reach a violent tribe of Indians in the remote rainforest for the first time in history with the gospel of Jesus Christ. All five were young men, ranging in ages of 27-32 years of age. When Elisabeth Elliott, Jim's wife wrote a book to tell their story some years late ...
