Psalm 91:14-16 (NIV)
14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

I would like to paste the whole Psalm 91 here because it is such a great Psalm of promise! This is not some poetic Psalm that we are to put to some music and think nice thoughts, but this is a Psalm of great promises that needs to be confessed over our lives with faith! Does it seem too great? Does it seem too hard? Does it seem like life will be too good if this Psalm says what it means? Are we afraid of that? If you look carefully it is specific on what the LORD will avert from our lives. What great and precious promises!

This morning however I am drawn to these three last verses. I believe that someone needs rescuing from something – maybe themselves. Someone is in trouble and needs deliverance. Someone needs the sodzo of God – His complete package of salvation which includes healing today. May I suggest, no urge – love Him with everything within you! Give Him all of you and proclaim with your heart and mouth your enduring love to the Lord of Host. If you can’t, spend time understanding His love for you until it starts to flow back to Him. After you have declared it, put all your chips in His hand – go all in! Not only begin to call on Him, but put His Word on your mouth, the Words of faith! Tell yourself and then tell everyone and then thank Him for your deliverance and your honoring, your rescue and your protection, your satisfaction with life and your healing! Pray His Word with faith in Him to bring it to pass!
