SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

Psalm 91:4-7     His huge outstretched arms protect you—Under them you’re perfectly safe, his arms fend off all harm.
Fear nothing—not wild wolves in the night, not flying arrows in the day,
Not disease that prowls through the darkness, not disaster that erupts at high noon.
Even though others succumb all around, drop like flies right and left, no harm will even graze you.
