"It Shall Not Come Near You!" thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Psalm 91:7 Your doctor or insurance agent may ask you, “Do you have a family history of cancer?” If you say, “Yes,” they will probably tell you that you might get some form of cancer too. Now, if you are without God, you would probably agree with them and start worrying about your health. But you are not without God! In fact, His Word tells you, “A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.” Therefore, even if you have a family history of cancer, and your family members have died of cancer, you can have the confidence to declare that it will not come near you! My mother had this attitude. After a thorough medical check-up, the doctor was surprised and told her that she did not have high blood pressure or heart disease, although these two conditions have plagued her father and siblings. You see, my mother had already firmly declared that no deadly, family-related disease would come near her. Praise God for my mother’s trust in God’s Word because I am the generation after her! In fact, after my mother told me about the results of her check-up, I randomly opened my Bible only to read about Rahab the harlot who by faith “did not perish with those who did not believe”. (Hebrews 11:31) Beloved, God wants you to know that even though you are in this world, you are not of this world. You belong to Him. You don’t have to get caught in dire situations along with the people of the world. Because God is on your side, “He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence”. (Psalm 91:3) Even when it comes to generational diseases, you can boldly declare, “That disease stops here!” because you have God and His Word. And when you believe God and His Word, you will see His promises come to pass for you—“A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you”! "Great Gain" But godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:6 K.J.V. Contentment is a perfect condition of life in which no aid or support is needed. This contentment comes from a life whose source is God. God’s desire is for us to grow to a place where nothing causes us to move out of our contentment with God. It’s having His passion, favor, love, joy, and peace. Today, rely upon God to be your source. Never ever give up. The best in every area of your life is yet to come. Heavenly Father, thank you for another productive day. I ask you to forgive me for not living with your contentment. I am this day giving, healthy, loving, caring, and achieving all that you have purposed in my life. I love you. In Jesus Name Amen. youtube/watch?v=_p31gY0t4pA
