The Mighty Arrow
My dear friend...
I know you have started the year strong. God will take you to greater heights and make you a sign and wonder wherever you are. I want to share a verse from the Bible which He has put in my heart, Psalm 91:3 and 5 “Surely He will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,”
Today you may be going through a situation where people around you are trying to put you down or planning many things against you or may be jealous about you. You might be hurt and wondering if you can make it forward. But God promises to save you from every trap and snare set by the enemy, from every arrow that comes against you and protects you from all of these attacks. The Bible says in Psalm 91:4, God’s protection comes to all those who have the Lord as their refuge. Keep Him as your refuge, nobody else can protect you.
‘Daniel, from his young age always did what was right and followed the ways of the Lord. Even when he was in captivity and they gave him food which was unclean for him to eat, he refused it and ate only vegetables and became stronger than all other men in the king’s training. He was rising up with the wisdom of God more than any experienced person or any of the wise men. Some of the King’s wise men were jealous, they knew Daniel prayed to God, so they tricked the king into making a new law that everyone has to worship the king and anyone who prays to any other God would be thrown into a lions’ den.
When the king put up the order, Daniel still chose to pray to God. He clinged on to what was right in his life and what was right in the eyes of God. According to the order, He was thrown into the lion's den, where hungry lions were waiting to rip him apart. It must have been a terrible thing for him to be punished for something he had not done. Because Daniel took refuge in the Lord and did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, He came and saved him from the fowler’s snare. God Himself battled for Daniel and protected him from the arrows of the wicked. No lion could touch him. The king saw that Daniel was special and thereby he threw all the wicked people who had plotted against Daniel into the lion’s den and the lions killed them. Yes! God will protect you from the lions.
My friend, continue to do what is right in the eyes of God, continue shining your light and continue to take refuge in the Lord. That is your protection. God will keep you ‘Like arrows in the hands of a warrior’ (Psalm 127:4). You will be like a mighty arrow striking the target and prospering in whatever you do and you will strike the heart of the enemy, defeat them and their plans thoroughly.
Submit to the wonderful God who is ready to do great things for you and through you. He will make you unique and special in all situations. Be bold and walk after God. You will be a sharp end mighty arrow.
