“My
God, In Whom I Trust”
Whoever
dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I
trust.”
Surely
he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He
will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his
faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of
night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the
darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your
side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will
only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
If
you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no
harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command
his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up
in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will
tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the
serpent. “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will
protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer
him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long
life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
Psalm 91:1-16
Some
children love to brag about their dads. These boasts usually come as a warning
if other kids are threatening you.
Believing
your dad is the strongest on the block inspires a lot of confidence in the face
of danger.
We
should love the fact that our Father is almighty. No one is stronger than He
is. We are all under the shadow of the Almighty.
Regardless
of what may bring you trouble today, don’t forget that your God is stronger
than anything in your life. So, be confident! That shadow of His all-prevailing
presence guarantees that His power can turn even the worst situation into
something good.
God is greater than our greatest problem.
