In the days to come you will see a great
deal of trouble in the world around you. The
reason is, there are two groups of people on
the earth. There are the people of God and
there are the people who still live in the devil’s
kingdom of darkness.

The Word of God tells us that these two
groups, even though they may live side by side
on the earth, will experience very different
kinds of lives. We can see this in Isaiah 3:10-11
where the Lord tells Isaiah to “say ye to the
righteous, that it shall be well with him…. Woe
unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him….”

Take two groups of people living in the
same space, in the same earth, in the same
city, even in the same family, and one can live
well and the other can live in woe. One can live
in security and the other in constant peril. The
difference is that one of these two groups has
a covenant with God, and the other does not.
God is a God of covenant, and God’s covenant
is a covenant of protection.

We see this in the preservation from their
enemies that belonged to Israel, even before
Jesus came and paid the price for man’s sin. God
made a way for His people to be secure. He
said, “If you’ll serve Me, if you’ll obey Me, I’ll be
an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to
your adversaries.” And as long as Israel obeyed
God no enemy could stand before them. No
enemy could overrun them. No sickness or
disease was in their midst. No catastrophe
would come upon them if they lived with God,
obeyed Him and did what He said.

If the Israelites under the old covenant
had that much protection, think how much
protection belongs to those who are in Christ—
who are in the One anointed to defeat Satan
and restore to man the glory lost in the Fall. As
good as those covenants were, God has made
a new and better covenant with you through
Jesus Christ, His Son. God has offered all He
has—His Son, His Word, His Name, His Spirit,
His Love—to you. Actually, you and I can walk
in the comfort of the Holy Ghost every day.
Think about that. The comfort, the protection,
the counsel of the Spirit of God.

Don’t let God’s covenant sit on a shelf
and gather dust. Use it for the peace and
protection you and your family need in these
troubled times.

Psalm 18:3

KJV—I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy
to be praised: so shall I be saved from
mine enemies.

AMP—I will call upon the Lord, Who is to be
praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.

Moffatt—The Eternal is to be praised!—I call
to him, and I am rescued from my foes.

NIV—I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.

Psalm 18:4-19

KJV—The sorrows of death compassed me,
and the floods of ungodly men made me
afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me
about: the snares of death prevented me. In
my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried
unto my God: he heard my voice out of his
temple, and my cry came before him, even into
his ears. Then the earth shook and trembled;
the foundations also of the hills moved and
were shaken, because he was wroth. There
went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire
out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled
by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came
down: and darkness was under his feet. And
he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he
did fly upon the wings of the wind. He made
darkness his secret place; his pavilion round
about him were dark waters and thick clouds
of the skies. At the brightness that was before
him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and
coals of fire. The Lord also thundered in the
heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail
stones and coals of fire. Yea, he sent out his
arrows, and scattered them; and he shot
out lightnings, and discomfited them. Then
the channels of waters were seen, and the
foundations of the world were discovered at
thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath
of thy nostrils. He sent from above, he took
me, he drew me out of many waters. He
delivered me from my strong enemy, and
from them which hated me: for they were too
strong for me. They prevented me in the day
of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay. He
brought me forth also into a large place; he
delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Psalm 31:1-2

KJV—O Lord...Bow down thine ear to me;
deliver me speedily.

AMP—O Lord...Bow down Your ear to me,
deliver me speedily!

Moffatt—O thou Eternal...Turn thine ear to
me, delay not to deliver me.

NIV—O Lord...Turn your ear to me, come
quickly to my rescue.
