Bible Studying:
“He who dwells within the shelter of the Most Excessive will abide within the shadow of the Almighty. I’ll say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I belief.’” – Psalm 91:1-2

Learn or Hear Beneath:

As a brand new believer, I used to be nonetheless within the early phases of understanding what it meant to deliver all issues to the Lord, and I imply all of it: the nice, the unhealthy, the seemingly ridiculous, and the downright ugliest elements of who I used to be. God used the Psalms penned by David for example for me to reside by and later as a information to share with these round me. 

As I grew to like the Phrase of God, I discovered myself writing Psalms repeatedly. Psalms 91 and 119 turned anthems of tune to me. They steadied my coronary heart, referred to as me to repentance, and jogged my memory how a lot my Heavenly Father loves me. 

Psalm 91:16 says, He who dwells within the shelter of the Most Excessive will abide within the shadow of the Almighty.

I’ll say to the Lord, “My refuge and fortress, my God, whom I belief.”  He’ll ship you from the snare of the fowler and the lethal pestilence. He’ll cowl you along with his pinions, and below his wings you can find refuge; his faithfulness is a protect and buckler. You’ll not worry the phobia of the night time, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

This portion of scripture tells us that these of us who dwell within the tender, loving care of our Savior will at all times be protected. Although the trials and tribulations of this world will occur, we will relaxation in and belief that God is holding all issues collectively. He tells us that He’s a protect to us and that we’d like not be afraid of the darts the enemy of this world shoots our means—as a result of we’re sealed and saved by the Highest. 

Psalm 119 has been one other anchor to my Spirit through the years. It calls my coronary heart to repentance after which leads me into reward. It jogs my memory how large God is and what a present it’s to be His daughter. 

“Blessed are these whose means is innocent, who stroll within the regulation of the Lord! Blessed are those that maintain his testimonies,  search him with their complete coronary heart, and do no flawed, however stroll in his methods! You’ve got commanded your precepts to be saved diligently.  Oh, that my methods might be steadfast in protecting your statutes! Then I shall not be put to disgrace, having my eyes mounted on all of your commandments. I’ll reward you with an upright coronary heart once I study your righteous guidelines. I’ll maintain your statutes;  don’t completely forsake me!” – Psalm 119:1-8

Do you see what a present these Psalms are to our hearts as we stroll with Jesus? They inform us who God is, what He wishes for our lives, and the blessings we obtain as we stroll rightly with Him. I’m extremely grateful for the management and steerage of these girls who studied these scriptures years in the past. 

As you stroll within the methods of the Lord, be steadfast within the pursuit of His Phrase. It’ll lead and information you to a deeper understanding of your Father’s coronary heart and offer you a glimpse into all He wishes on your life.
