If the Bible is my feasting table, then my favorite dishes are most likely the verses and chapters that are seasoned with His promises for me. Psalm 91 is one of these very tasty little entrees:
"He will cover you with His feathers.
He will shelter you with His wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection . . .
The LORD says, 'I will rescue those who love me.
I wil 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 91:4, 14-16
Trusting God means taking Him at His word and believing that He will do what He says. Do we love Him? Do we trust in His Name? If so, then we can be assured of these promises listed in the Psalm. We will be sheltered and protected in dangerous situations; we will be rescued, even when we're in the deepest trouble of our lives. If the LORD is our God, and no other, we are guaranteed eternal salvation along with every day and minute that He has destined for us to be alive.
If that does not bring hope to the hopeless, I don't know what will. I am encouraged this week and my body and soul are strengthened from feasting on His promises.
My prayer for you - taste and see that the Lord is good, that His promises are true, if you love Him and trust in His name.
