“What If . . . ?”
LISTEN
“For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will
hold you up with their  hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.”
—Psalm 91:11–12
When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He retaliated against the
Devil’s statements with the  Word of God.
The Devil said, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become a
loaf of bread” (Luke 4:3  NLT).
But Jesus answered, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by
bread alone’” (verse 4 NLT).
Then the Devil said, in effect, “Why don’t you fall down and worship me
right now?”
But Jesus told him, “The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord
your God and serve only him’”  (verse 8 NLT).
Next the Devil tried to lure Jesus into jumping off the highest point
of the Temple. He quoted  Scripture, which he took out of context: “He
will order his angels to protect and guard you. And  they will hold you
up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone”
(verses 10–11  NLT).
The Devil tried to use this verse to say that Jesus could recklessly
test the Lord without  consequences. But Jesus brought it back into
context, saying, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must  not test the Lord
your God’” (verse 12 NLT).
God isn’t saying that we should go out and unnecessarily endanger our
lives. What these verses from  Psalm 91 are really saying is that God
has a work He will do in your life. And until He is done,  you are
indestructible. On the other hand, you shouldn’t foolishly test the Lord.
We see this illustrated in the story of the apostle Paul when he was
shipwrecked. He went to warm  himself at the fire, where a venomous
snake fastened itself to Paul’s arm. Paul just shook it off.  He wasn’t
affected by the venom, because God wasn’t done with him yet.
So don’t worry about it. Know that God will be with you until He has
completed His work.
