Surely he shall deliver you

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the Fowler and from the perilous pestilence. - Psalm 91:3

In Psalm 91: 5, you are told that you shall not fear the terror by night nor the arrow that flies by day. Psalm 91: 1 teaches you that you shall not fear because God will shelter you beneath the shadow of His wings. Psalm 91: 2 adds that you shall not fear the terror by night because God will surround you with a wall of protection. Now, verse three of Psalm 91 contributes a third cause for comfort. That is to say, you shall not fear the terror by night nor the arrow that flies by day because God will deliver you.
 
In the case of verses one and two, hurt, harm and danger is prevented by your being beneath the shadow of His wings and behind His wall of protection. Yet, there are times, when the enemy slips in, when trouble gets pass the gates, when the attack of the adversary comes from within the walls. In such times, God shows up as a deliverer who will rush in and bring you out.
 
He serves like a fireman who rescues residents from a burning building. He acts like a swat team which storms barricaded banks and retrieves innocent hostages. He dives into the deep like a life guard and saves drowning souls.
 
Sometimes, many times, most times by the time you realize you are in trouble, you have already passed the point of prevention. What you need is deliverance. Not to worry because surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. Hallelujah!
