Psalms 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Peaceful protests are allowed in certain situations, because one of the freedoms persons enjoy is the right to peacefully protest against what they might view as being objectionable. But what starts out as peaceful may not always end up that way. One of the dangers in joining with protests, is that things can easily spin out of control, and if they do, and your adrenaline starts to flow, it could reach a point where you might do, and say things that you never intended, or would never have done under different circumstances.
One thing the Christian should bear in mind if he is tempted to join in the fray, is that not everyone in the crowd will be a believer in Christ, and because so many people are now armed to the tooth, with open carry laws on the books, you never know how things might turn out, even it was initially intended as a peaceful protest. There is a certain energy that comes with a crowd of people, and that energy can become infectious, if an individual has partaken of the mindset of the crowd.
In the heat of the moment the spontaneous actions could take preeminence over sound judgement, and before you know it, the situation can go off the rails. The reason why the mindset of Christ is so very important at this time is because, things are just getting started, and we must keep in mind that the dragon is wroth with the remnant people of God who keep all of His commandments.
Psalms 91:3 Surely, he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
