Many are the promises of God. They cover every known need of life, here and hereafter, and reveal to what extent God has made provision to help man in his struggle to overcome sin, sickness, and Satan, and regain the full dominion that he lost in Adam when he fell. The ultimate purpose of God in all His present dealings with man is to bring him back to the place where he was before the fall and purge him of all possibility of failing in the future.

The evil of sin cleaves to the best of saints, the evil of temptations besets them, and the evil of afflictions comes upon them, as chastisements from the Lord. For they must expect to receive evil, in this sense, as well as good, from his hands. But the evil of punishment never touches them; and therefore, when any public calamity befalls them in common with others, yet not as an evil of punishment; it is not an evil to them, it is for their good.

neither shall any... How should it, when they dwell in God, and have made him, the Most High, their habitation (Psalm 91:1). Otherwise it may come nigh their temporal dwellings (see Psalm 91:7). Though it may not enter into them; and, should it, yet not as an evil, or by way of punishment (see Prov. 3:33).

Many a minister of God has been called to the death bed of those with all sorts of dread diseases. The promise of God is that, if we live with God continually, there shall no plague overtake us. What if he did take some terrible disease, it would just hurry the time when he would be with the Lord forevermore. The promise is that the plague will not come near your house, if your house is a habitation of God. God would feel very uncomfortable in many homes today. Praise God! He is welcome in our home.
