Psalm 91:5

"You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day" - Psalm 91:5

This is by far one of the most comforting verses anyone could ever read. It hit me especially hard and I hope you get the shivers I got while reading this. Let's dive in!

"You will NOT fear.." - How many times have we heard to not be afraid of things? To be a risk-taker? How many times have you backed out of something because you were afraid? Fear can overcome anything you want to do in life if you let it. Stop fear in its tracks! By having fear, you're telling God you don't trust Him. If you feel that God is approving what you're thinking of or what you want to do, what else do you need? When you have God's army backing you, the war is over.

"..terror of the night" - I believe this can be a literal "night" and metaphorical "night" as in we don't have to sleep in fear and when we feel God's light isn't shining upon us, maybe were just not looking up. There's so much to be scared of at night and that's Satan's best time to set up stumbling blocks upon you to fall. Let Satan know that the terror of the night will become a footstool for you!

"arrow...by day" - Oh yes, that's right just because it's day time doesn't mean Satan took a rest at trying to bring you his way. But that also doesn't mean God took a rest either :). Read that verse again. The arrows FLY BY you! Millions of arrows may fly your way but will never pierce your flesh. Be not afraid anymore for the Lord says so.
