His
Faithful
Promises
Are
Your Armor And Protection.
Scripture
Psalm
91
1 Those
who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
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.
4 He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
Observation
God
has made thousands of promises to us and they are all found in our
Bible. They are available to us 24/7! Those promises according to
Psalm 91 are our armor and our protection!
I
was with a grief stricken family yesterday at the hospital and as
they grieved the sudden and unexpected death of their loved one, the
sister of the deceased began quoting Psalm 23.
Her
reliance on the Word of God was a reminder to me that we can carry
God's faithful promises around with us in our hearts and those
promises are indeed our armor and our protection!
“Because
the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need! … Even
when walking through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me, guarding, guiding all the way.” Psalm
23:1,4
This
family grieved. And yes, it was a horrific and totally unexpected
situation that they found themselves in, but they did not grieve
without hope. They clung to the precious promises of our God.
We
should follow their example and do the same!
2
Corinthians 1:20
For
all of God’s promises have
been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through
Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his
glory.
Psalm
18:30
What
a God he is! How perfect in every way! All his promises prove
true. He is a shield for everyone who hides behind him.
Psalm
56:10-11
I
am trusting God—oh, praise his promises! I am not afraid of
anything mere man can do to me! Yes, praise his promises.
Psalm
119:114
You
are my refuge and my shield, and your promises are
my only source of hope.
Application
When
I go through difficult times I will hold on tightly to the promises
of my God.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, You have given us hope. Even during terrible times I am not
without hope. I pray for those who are grieving the loss of a loved
one. Give them strength through Your Word. May they cling to Your
promises during this difficult time. Help me to be your hands and
your feet to those who are going through difficult times. Thank You
for the testimony and the witness of the believers that I get to meet
while I am at the hospital and the confident hope that they have in
You.
