Psalm 91
The Benefits of Abiding
This morning my devotional thoughts turned to Psalm 91. The human author of the Psalm is unknown; the
occasion of writing is likewise unknown.
The entire Psalm enumerates the advantage to seeking refuge in the shelter
of the Almighty --El Shaddai. The closing three verses really stood out to me this morning. The God-dweller will hold fast to Him in love
– no fear, but a sense of love because s/he loves God above all. When I hold
fast to God in love, I am not so concerned with the outcome of my
circumstances; rather, I am consumed
with His glory. God makes promises
to this God-dweller
1.
He will protect.
2. He will deliver. 3. He will answer when called. 4. He will sustain in
trouble.
5. He will rescue. 6. He will honor 7. He
will satisfy with a long life. 8. He
will enable the dweller
to perceive His salvation. And I believe that this perception of God’s
salvation will lead to proclamation.
As I stand on the
cusp of 2016, I will make it my purpose – my plan-- to be a God dweller. I really want to learn to know El Shaddai in the coming year.
