Psalm 91 God's Umbrella Of Protection 21-Day Devotionalનમૂનો

What Is Coming Out Of My Mouth?

I will say to the Lord, "My Refuge and my Fortress, my God, in whom I trust!” –Psalm 91:2

Verse 2 says, “I will say...” Note the word “say” in this verse because we must learn to verbalize our trust. We answer back to God what He said to us in the first verse. There is power in saying His Word back to Him!

We are not told to just think the Word. We are told to say the Word. Joel 3:10 tells the weak to say, “I am a mighty man.” We find great men of God such as David, Joshua, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego declaring their confessions of faith out loud in dangerous situations. Notice what begins to happen on the inside when you say, “Lord, You are my Refuge—You are my Fortress—You are my Lord and my God! It is in You that I put my total trust!” The more we say it out loud, the more confident we become in His protection. Power is released in saying it out loud. When we say it and mean it, we are placing ourselves in His shelter. By voicing His Lordship and His protection, we walk in the door to the secret place.

God, Himself, becomes our defensive site for us against all invading enemies. He is personally our protection. Promises of protection can be found throughout the Bible, but Psalm 91 is the only place in the Word where all the protection promises are brought together in one collection — forming a covenant written through the Holy Spirit. How powerful that is!

Have you ever tried to protect yourself from all the bad things that can happen? It’s like trying to keep the whole law. God knows we can’t do it. Psalms 60:11b tells us, “...deliverance by man is in vain.” God must be our source before the promises in Psalm 91 will ever work.

Verse 2 says, “I will say...”, reminding us to verbalize our trust.

Pray Out Loud.

Lord, thank You for the protection promises available in Psalm 91. Help me learn to put my total trust in You as I speak Your Word aloud and believe it in my heart. You are my refuge. In the name of Jesus. Amen

Pray Psalm 91.
