Lord Jesus, You are my God and I trust You. Your
promises are new every morning and I know that the Lord God Almighty has a plan
for the future with promises by which to live. Please give me wisdom and
understanding that I would understand His plan, trust in You Lord with all my
heart, and lean not on my own understanding. Thank you.
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. Psalm
91:1-4
Meditate on God’s word and promises.
Do you
ever wonder what God Almighty looks like? How do you picture Him?
To
whom can you compare God? What image can you find to resemble him? Isaiah 40:18
If God
created man in His image, do we look like Him, or is that only a spiritual
aspect of His being and our being?
So God created human beings in his
own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created
them. Genesis 1:27

The focus
passage for today from Psalm 91 describes God with wings—which I imagine to be
snowy white, pure and glistening. But God is not an egret!
Isaiah had a vision in which he describes God
in the Temple, wearing a long flowing robe.
It was in the year King Uzziah died
that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his
robe filled the Temple. Isaiah
6:1
If God is
love…how do you picture LOVE?
I was initially interested in this
passage from Psalm 91 because of the verse…His faithful promises are your
armor and protection. To be prepared for the days ahead we may need armor
and what better “armor” than that of God’s promises which offers spiritual
protection. In the next few days, we’ll be looking at the armor of God.
Be strong in the Lord and in his
mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm
against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against
flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen
world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in
the heavenly places. Ephesians
6:10-12
For today
are you making a choice to trust God and His promises?

me. Psalm 119:40-41
