Those who rightly know God, will set their love upon him. Whatever happens, nothing shall hurt the believer though trouble and affliction befal, it shall come, not for his hurt, but for good, though for the present it be not joyous but grievous. Then let sinners come unto the Lord upon his mercy-seat, through the Redeemer's name and encourage others to trust in him also. God's people shall see, not only God's promises fulfilled, but his threatenings. Whatever is done, our heavenly Father's will is done and we have no reason to fear. Wisdom shall keep them from being afraid without cause, and faith shall keep them from being unduly afraid. Great security is promised to believers in the midst of danger. The spiritual life is protected by Divine grace from the temptations of Satan, which are as the snares of the fowler, and from the contagion of sin, which is a noisome pestilence. And those who have found the comfort of making the Lord their refuge, cannot but desire that others may do so. He that by faith chooses God for his protector, shall find all in him that he needs or can desire. For victory and salvation are found in you alone. Remind us of your strength today, may we see glimpses of your glory and blessing along the way as we seek after you. Thank you that you are in our midst, and that our future is secure in the place you're preparing for us. Thank you that you go before us, and cover us from behind. "Dear God, Thank you for your presence with us, thank you for your Almighty Shadow. And though He never says that we won't face hard times, He does say He'll be with us in it, rescuing us, and shining His favor over us.ĭon’t ever doubt it. God works on behalf of those who love Him and honor His name. He is so good to us. We may never fully know, this side of heaven, how very much He has sheltered us from in this life. Yet God's reminders are sure, strong, and true, assuring us that in all that we walk through in this journey, His call is always to rise above. The truth is, this world has been dark for generations, since sin first entered the earth at the hiss of the enemy's lies. In the midst of great darkness in this world, living in it all without His Truth and freedom, would be like wallowing in the pit. There is great blessing as we seek after God, and choose to walk in His ways.

And at the end of it all, God gives 8 reasons of why we do not have to fear. Great reminders that He faithfully works on behalf of those who love Him. This entire chapter of Psalm 91 is filled with the goodness and power of God. It diminishes what we actually feel in the intensity of the heat. If the heat is severe, the shade is the place we run to. His Word says if we do that, we will “rest” in the very "shadow of the Almighty." Shadows by definition are a place of protection or covering, they provide relief from the direct heat of the sun. The word “dwell” used in this verse actually means, “to take up permanent residence in.” He reminds us to stay in His presence, for it’s a permanent place of living.

Is it any coincidence that this is the 9-1-1 verse? In whatever troubles we face today, God is the place of refuge we can run to, He is our safe place. He doesn't, He can't, forget us or ignore us. If we belong to Him, His love is too great to leave us on our own. We may not always see it, or feel it, we might forget it’s there at times, or even wonder if He's left us to fend for ourselves in the heat of hard situations of life. But His protection is real. This reminder came…“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1
