Are you in good hands?


Psalms 91:1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

Almost 100 years ago, during World War I, the 91st Infantry Brigade of the U. S. Expeditionary Army was preparing to enter combat in Europe. Because their commander was a devout Christian, he assembled his men and gave each of them a little card on which was printed the 91st Psalm, the same number Psalm as their brigade. They agreed to recite that Psalm daily. After they had begun praying the Psalm, the 91st Brigade was engaged in three of the bloodiest battles of World War I - Chateau Thierry, Belle Wood and the Argonne. Other American units that fought in the same battles had up to 90 percent casualties, but the 91st Brigade did not suffer a single combat-related casualty.(StoryHere)
How wonderful it is that the creator of the universe promises us that all we have to do is stay near him and he'll protect us from harm. Believing in the lord is our best insurance policy. Psalms 34:7 say "The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them" The Lord also says "See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands". So as a popular insurance ad would say "Are You In Good Hands?"
