Lately I have been thinking about all of the promises the Lord has for those of us who know Him as their Lord and Savior. This pandemic has made me realize how much in this life that we take for granted each and every day. If we delight ourselves in Him alone and put Him first, He promises to be with us and take care of us! I am so thankful that we have a loving Father who cares about us and promises to always be there when we call on Him.
Psalms 91 has been the chapter that has been on my mind throughout this pandemic. Within this chapter in Psalms are many promises that we have from the Lord. The first thing I noticed is that He promises rest in the shadow of the Almighty. He is our place of protection and our refuge it says in Psalms 91. A promise that I am so thankful for is that He answers our cry for help when we pray. We are safe and secure before His face. We can bring anything to Him and He hears us and is waiting for us to call on Him. It also speaks of the promise that He will rescue us from every trap and protect us from deadly disease. He is present and there with us in times of pressure and trouble. We also have the promise of being satisfied with a full life. He gives us a promise that we can enjoy the fullness of our salvation!
The Lord promises that He will rescue those who love Him and protect those who trust in His name. He will answer them when they call on Him for help. I challenge you to really let these promises from the Lord sink in and remember all the wonderful things the Lord gives to us freely who call upon His name! Prayerfully reflect on the great blessings we have from the Lord. This has helped me focus on the positives in life during theses uncertain times. The Lord is waiting with open arms for you!
