If You Make The Lord Your Refuge,

If You Make The Most High Your Shelter,

No Evil Will Conquer You;

Scripture

Psalm 91

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.

7 Though a thousand fall at your side,
    though ten thousand are dying around you,
    these evils will not touch you.

9 If you make the Lord your refuge,
    if you make the Most High your shelter,

10 no evil will conquer you;
    no plague will come near your home.

11 For he will order his angels
    to protect you wherever you go.

12 They will hold you up with their hands
    so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.

14 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.”

Proverbs 1

33 But all who listen to me will live in peace,
    untroubled by fear of harm.”

Observation

The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.”

He even says in Psalm 91:11 that He orders His angels to protect those who trust in His name!

I don't know about you, but I love all the promises that I read in Psalm 91.

He is making those promises to me and He is making those promises to you if we will just trust Him.

Application

God's promises are my armor and my protection. (Psalm 91:4) I will trust and hold onto every one of them.

How about you? What are you facing today?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, You have given me so many promises. Your Word is so full of them. Help me to hold onto every one of them and trust You as I deal with the storms of life.

I pray for those going through difficult times right now. Give them strength. Don't let them lose hope. Show them that they can trust in You. Bring people into their life who will encourage them.
