He saw off his guests this night, opting to return to the hostel through the shorter but normally unlit field, where unknown to him, the men of the night were having their conclave. As they made to teach him a lesson for daring to see what was the exclusive preserve of principalities, the stocky man sprinted for his life. By the time he made it to the hall, slippers in hand and chest heaving, it took a while before he could regain his composure to talk of his deliverance from certain nightmare.

?But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the Lord: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid. For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.? ? Jeremiah 39: 17-18 (KJV)

Your enemy will not get you.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
