God Will…As Promised

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust Him. For He will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. ... 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. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation." Psalm 91:1-7, 14-16

How do you picture God? An old man with a big white beard seated on a throne…or a younger, strong super human figure striding about the heavens? How about a bird-like creature? Once again we read scripture that suggests that God wears feathers. Remember Jesus talking to His followers in Jerusalem… How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn't let me." Matthew 23:37.

So…like the Psalmist, I say to God… For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy. Psalm 63:7 NASB.

No matter what God looks like, the important thing is that He has promised...I will rescue those who love me…I will protect…I will answer…I will be with them…I will rescue them…and give them my salvation. I WILL. God promised and He keeps His promises.

For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. The LORD always keeps His promises; He is gracious in all He does. Psalm 145:13

The Lord always keeps His promises. What a promise for all who believe in Him.

Prayer ~ Thank You, Lord God, that I believe in You and can trust You with any troubles, sorrows, even joys—all of my life. You are my help—and I sing for joy.
