A higher power. ( Psalm 91 )

In a little book by Daniel Defoe called ,'A visitation of the plague',when many especially the rich were fleeing from the city of London because of the Great Plague of 1665.Daniel considered his plight, what should he do,should he flee?.Well, were can we flee from the caronverus?,the problem is ,it is everywhere,well, he prayed,a simple prayer,he cried to the Lord,''Lord direct me,I know not what to do;'He had his Bible before him,and he turned the page and his eyes fell on Psalm 91,and he read,'I  will say of the Lord,He is my refuge and fortress; my God, in Him will I trust. Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence......Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; nor the pestilence  that walketh in darkness nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not nigh thee.......Because thou hast made the Lord,which is my refuge,even the most High, thy habitation;there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling''. I will continue this next time.
