Psalm 91:1-6; 14-16
1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 This I declare about the LORD:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.
3 For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease.
4 He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
15 When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.
16 I will reward them with a long life
and give them my salvation.”
Reflect
Every once in a while, life seems to get the best of you. You feel pressure from all directions. You have the pressure of work, of caring for family, the pressure of time. You just want to escape. But you can’t, or can you?
The psalmist must have been feeling this way when he wrote this psalm. Everywhere they looked they saw trouble. Then is the despair of that moment, they remembered there is a place where I can escape and feel relief from the pressure.
“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the LORD:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him” Psalm 91:1-2
The shadow of the Almighty is a peaceful place. Make time today to visit this wonderful place.
Pray
Lord, You are our rock and salvation, give us shelter in our troubled times. Amen
Go with God!
