Psalm 91:7 7A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.
Your doctor or insurance agent may ask you, “Do you have a family history
of cancer?” If you say, “Yes,” they will probably tell you that you might get
some form of cancer too.
Now, if you are without God, you would probably agree with them and start
worrying about your health. But you are not without God! In fact, His Word tells
you, “A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but
it shall not come near you.” Therefore, even if you have a family history of cancer,
and your family members have died of cancer, you can have the confidence to
declare that it will not come near you!
My mother had this attitude. After a thorough medical check-up, the doctor
was surprised and told her that she did not have high blood pressure or heart
disease, although these two conditions have plagued her father and siblings. You
see, my mother had already firmly declared that no deadly, family-related disease
would come near her.
Praise God for my mother’s trust in God’s Word because I am the generation
after her! In fact, after my mother told me about the results of her check-up, I
randomly opened my Bible only to read about Rahab the harlot who by faith “did
not perish with those who did not believe”. (Hebrews 11:31)
Beloved, God wants you to know that even though you are in this world, you
are not of this world. You belong to Him. You don’t have to get caught in dire
situations along with the people of the world. Because God is on your side, “He
shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence”.
(Psalm 91:3)
Even when it comes to generational diseases, you can boldly declare, “That
disease stops here!” because you have God and His Word. And when you believe
God and His Word, you will see His promises come to pass for you — “A thousand
may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not
come near you”!
