When We Call on Him --Psalm 91

This morning during my reading, I was reminded of who God is and all that He promises He will do for us, if we but call on Him. It is so easy to get caught up with the curve balls life throws us and start a downward spiral of despair, simply because we have forgotten that God is always near. He will deliver, protect, satisfy, honor, answer and rescue us. He will be with us through it all. Why worry?

Psalm 91

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

    will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,

    my God, in whom I trust.”

3 For He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler

    and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his pinions,

    and under His wings you will find refuge;

    His faithfulness is a shield and buckler.

5 You will not fear the terror of the night,

    nor the arrow that flies by day, 

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,

    nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,

    ten thousand at your right hand,

    but it will not come near you.

8 You will only look with your eyes

    and see the recompense of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—

    the Most High, who is my refuge—

10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you,

    no plague come near your tent.

11 For He will command his angels concerning you

    to guard you in all your ways.

12 On their hands they will bear you up,

    lest you strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread on the lion and the adder;

    the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.

14 “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;

I will protect him, because he knows my name.

15 When he calls to me, I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble;

 I will rescue him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him

and show him My salvation.”
