Psalm 91:9 & 10 NIV

9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your
dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your
tent.

A refuge is a condition of being safe or sheltered from pursuit, danger, or trouble, something providing cover. Glory, glory hallelujah it is so comforting to know the LORD covers us. Consider the first part of this verse. The promise comes only after we have fulfilled the beginning of this statement. We must make the LORD our refuge. We must always look to God. We can do absolutely nothing without Him. We must bring everything to Him and Him alone. There’s no getting around it. When we are willing to give ourselves to the LORD, He has ownership of our bodies. We belong to God anyway, yet it’s best when we are willing.

Some of us have walked out from under God’s protection and then blamed God for the things that go wrong in our lives. We can’t rebel against the LORD and expect Him to bless us. Being under God’s refuge is the safest place we could ever be. Proverbs 12:21 reads, No harm comes to the godly, but the wicked have their fill of troubles. Although harm does befall the godly, they are able to see opportunities in their problems to move ahead. The wicked, without God’s wisdom, are ill equipped to handle their problems. We sometimes believe they live better lives than Christians. But if you live long enough you will see. They will get their just rewards. Unless they repent and come to Jesus.

Yet God still says, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. It means that all this evil that surrounds us will not conquer us. God uses the things we go through to prune and change and move us forward. It rains on the just and unjust. Even though we are Christians we still sin, although hopefully we don’t practice sinning. Instead of saying and feeling woe is me, try running to God as our refuge and fortress. We will soon see that our circumstances and situations will be for our ultimate good. Try instead thanking the LORD for helping you to be back under His umbrella. One of the hymns that attest to this is, Safe in His Arms by Milton Brunson.

When the storms of life is raging.
And the sea billows roll.
So glad He shall hide me.
Safe in His Arms.

Thank You LORD!

Psalm 34:1
I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my. (KJV)

Hallelujah, glory to God, in the highest. God we thank You. We always have a reason to bless the LORD. Regardless of what it looks like or feels like. We thank God for always giving us a reason to praise Him. For simply waking us up in the morning. Continually means without interruption; constantly. Frequently, regularly, repeatedly, again and again, time after time, constantly, always, endlessly, or 24/7. To extend forever and ever. Every time we open our mouths we should have something to thank God for.

Some might venture to say it don’t take all that. We see everything God does for us as a blessing and shout a praise, a hallelujah, a glory to God. For giving us a roof over our heads, food on the table, clothes and shoes to wear. How He heals our bodies. Whether it as simple as healing us from a cold, COVID, or cancer. We should always be willing and ready to give God His just due, His props!!! A lot of times we only see the end result in people. We don’t see what a person goes through. How God brings them out. Sometimes people literally go through HELL!!! We can’t do anything else but praise our Heavenly Father!

So it doesn’t matter what’s going on. All things work out for our good and His glory. Continue to give thanks, constantly give glory, forever praise His name. God says no weapon formed against us shall prosper. As long as we abide in Him, He abides in us, He got us. One may not understand what is going on at this time or understand why you’re going through. But God knows. Just continue to say God I thank you, God I praise you. Because He’s right there. He promises to never leave you or forsake you. Although it can be hard sometimes to praise Him when you’re smack dab in the middle of a thing, we can ask the Holy Spirit to help us. So that we can continue to honor the LORD God our Father. He’s worthy of all our continuous praise, thanks, and glory.

Psalm 105:1 KJV

1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples!

O give thanks unto the LORD. Psalm 100:3 says, Know ye that the LORD is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves… That’s enough to give thanks to Him. We have a responsibility to thank Him. First of all He is the one who created us, formed us, and made us. There is none like Him. No one can compare to Him. Nobody can do the things He does for us. When we can’t depend on anyone else, we can always depend on the LORD. When nobody else have what you need, you better believe, God Got It!! So that’s why we should thank Him at all times. Thank you LORD!!!

Then it says, call upon His name. We don’t have to call on anyone else’s name. There is no other name that is reliable or dependable to call on other than the LORD. There are so many different names and titles of God that we can call on at anytime for any given situation or circumstance. Back in the days of old during certain circumstances the people would give God a name or title based on specific situations they would find themselves in. Jehovah Jireh, my provider. What do you need from Him? Call upon His name. We should be excited to call upon a Holy God. He’s flawless, and perfect. Nothing about Him has been contaminated. He sits in a category all by himself. Marvin Sapp sang, For You alone are God and You are God alone.

Make known His deeds among the peoples! What deeds are you going to make known? The things that you have been giving thanks for. What people? Those that don’t know Him. There’s no need to tell those we fellowship with. They ought to have something to shout about themselves. We should share our deeds with those that don’t know Him. So they can come to the LORD and call upon His name as well. That means we will have to open our mouths and say, this is what the LORD has done for me. Let me tell you about a man that can help you out of anything. A man that there’s nothing too hard for or impossible for. I don’t care what you’re going through. Let me tell you what He did for me. When I was was sinking so deep in sin, a ladder wouldn’t help. But the LORD delivered an old wretch like me. He healed my body from all kinds of diseases. How He saved my lost soul. We should be sharing Him with the next generations. Preferably not only our children but others too. Share with our children and our children’s children. Matt: 10:8 reads …freely you have received, freely give. (NIV) This should be our song or motto. I’m just a nobody, trying to tell everybody, about Somebody who can save anybody!!

Psalm 46:10 KJV
10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Psalm 46:10 and 46:1 are directly correlated to each other. 46:1 says God is our refuge and strength, a very present help. He faithfully guides us in all our circumstances. Be still means to cease travel, stop moving, or stop fighting. He’s talking to our enemies. Also the people of God need to stop fighting, being anxious, and worrying. God is poised, standing in position, and ready to fight for us. The more we know Him, the more we know He’s going to fight for us. Ex. 14:14 says, The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Still also means serene, motionless, calm, quiet, tranquil, and peaceful. We have to know that we have the victory. He says He always causes us to triumph.

It doesn’t matter what the enemy does or try’s to do to us he can NOT win. The enemy comes when we are vulnerable at certain times or stages in our lives. He comes with all kind of lies to try and wear us down and wear us out. When we yield to our emotions he can get the best of us. Often times our flesh is warring with our spirit. God says I need you to yield not to your flesh. Just be still and know I’ve already given you the victory. God is our victor.

This is not a call to silence worship. Praise Him because it’s already done. Praise Him like it’s manifested and you’re already on the other side. When you know that you know, that you know, that you know, what He says in His Word, you don’t have to wait till the end of a thing, you can praise Him while you’re smack dab in it. Because you know what He already said and His promises are Yes and Amen. He already said that you are out. Make your emotions settle down. Tell them and the devil to sit down, shut up, and behave. We don’t have to accept anything the enemy brings to us. The enemy can NOT win. God says, I got you and I got it. Jesus is Lord over us all and over everything!

Psalm 46:1 KJV
1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Refuge is a state of safety, protection, or shelter. Shelter is a refuge for protection from something or someone. It means literally or figuratively hope, peace, refuge, or trust. Strength means security, praise, boldness, might, power and strong. God is our refuge. He is our safe place when we are afraid. God is also our strength and our power. This is the same word that Jesus uses in Acts 1:8. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be witness unto me both in Jerusalem, and in Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of earth. He promises to give us power with the coming of the Holy Spirit who now lives in us. God talks about thrusting. To push out or drive out with force, shove or cause to pierce by thrusting or as if pushing with a dagger. God says He would thrust with force. He would do it quick, and hard. So we really don’t have to be afraid. He’s our rock and He is everlasting to everlasting, meaning eternal. We really don’t have to fear. We need to always remember to look to God first. Run to Him. He’s waiting for you to cry out to Him.

John 16:33 says, These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. He is a very present help. Not just a past help. Yet He’s reliable because you can look back and see how He has helped before. He’s our deliver. Again, He sits poised and waiting for our call. In our weakness His strength is perfected. That gives us more than a few things to draw from, His refuge, shelter in the time of struggle, strength when we are weak, and a very present help when we’re in trouble.

(Words of Exhortation)

Psalm 37:23
23 The steps of a good man are ordered
by the LORD: and he delighteth in
his way.

A synonym for ordered is established. God establishes our steps. Establish is defined as setup (an organization, system, or set of rules) on a firm or permanent basis. To achieve permanent acceptance or recognition for. He makes sure we stay on track. It says, the steps of a good man, a godly man, and a righteous man. It means whom God has deemed righteous. One who is born again through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Many folks call themselves a good person. Jesus said don’t call anyone good but the Father. Because we do certain deeds, we don’t bother anybody, we mind our own business, and we take care of everything we’re supposed to. We consider ourselves good. But this is talking about one that has accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. He guides their footsteps. He’s the one that’s moving ahead, progressing ahead into maturity to Christlikeness to the exact image of His Son. It’s Him that is doing it as we yield to Him.

…and He delighteth in his way. That word delighteth is chafetx found in Strong’s 2654. To be delighted in something. To take pleasure in. To be bent or inclined toward. To cherish, to be faithful, favorably disposed toward someone, to love and desire someone. From chafetx comes delight or pleasure. A well known biblical name derived from the word is Hephzibah. Literally meaning delight is in her. Is. 62:4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. That is very attractive in His view. Here a blessed individual finds Gods commands pleasurable and attractive. Yes God delighteth in us. We too find God’s commands pleasurable, attractive, delightful, pleasing, and desirable. What a Mighty God we serve!!!

Psalm 54:4 NLT
4 But God is my helper.
The Lord keeps me alive!

One name for God is Elohim Ozer Li , God My Helper. Helper, boethos (bah-ay-thoss): Strong’s #998: From bow, “a cry for help,” and theo, “to run,” Boethos is one who comes running when we cry for help. The word describes the Lord is poised and ready to rush to the relief of His oppressed children when they shout for His assistance. Heb. 13:6 Yes you read it right, poised and ready.

I’m so glad all of my help comes from the Lord. Ps. 37:17 says, For the strength of the wicked will be shattered, but the Lord takes care of the Godly. People are often genuine when they say, if you need me just call me. Sometimes they’re busy or you may have to wait or call someone else. But not God. God is Omnipresent, He’s everywhere at the same time. God is omniscient, He knows all things. He’s sovereign! He can do anything! God will never leave you or forsake you. Is. 41:10 says, So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you with my victorious right hand. 43:2 says, When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not burn up; the flames will not consume you. That’s some mighty good news.

The Lord keeps me alive! Ps. 37:40b says, He saves them, and they find shelter in Him. God is our shelter and our refuge. God is the One we go to when we feel like life is coming at us from all directions. We can feel like we have it all. A loving family, big house, nice car, dream car, traveling all around the world, and many good friends. But sooner or later one will feel something is missing. Even without those things God’s Word is true. It is able to quicken and make alive! 1 Pet. 1:23 says, For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living Word of God. That’s the good news. Not just alive today, but through all eternity!!

Yes Jesus is my help and He’s keeping me alive!!!

Psalm 37:4
Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

What wonderful words to hear. To delight is defined as to please someone greatly. The psalmist assures us that to that to delight in the Word qualifies us to be assembled with the righteous. But those ungodly who mock or ignore the Word of God lives empty lives.

To delight in the Word is to delight in the Lord! Listen to what the Lord Jesus said in John 14:23-24 If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My father will love him and make our home with him. He who does not love me will not obey my teachings. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me. I Know that is the only way to be happy in Jesus and reap the rewards He has for me.

…and He will give you the desires of your heart. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen. God knows what is best for us and he knows the desires of our hearts. Have patience and trust the Lord. Our desires should come from Him. Ph. 2:13 says, God is working in you, giving you the desire and power to do what pleases Him. When we’re in tune with God and His Will, our desires should line up with God’s desires for us. When God sees our delight with Him, He will wholeheartedly give us the desires of hearts.

Let us delight ourselves in the Word for when we do, it clearly proves that we delight ourselves in the Lord. The Lord says , I listen to your heart as well as to your words. When you approach My Throne of Grace delightfully and joyfully, anticipating the wondrous pleasure of communing with me, both you and I are blessed!!!

Psalm 30:5 NIV
5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Human anger is defined as a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure or hostility. Anger can also be seen as a negative feeling that is typically associated with hostile thoughts, and unhealthy behaviors. Unlike man, God’s anger is like a shot given by a doctor, the discomfort of God’s anger lasts only a moment, but the good effects go on for a long time. God’s anger is a sharp pain that warns you to turn away from sin. It’s a form of how He loves and wants the very best for us. Remember how we would tell our children this is going to hurt me more than you. Although I doubt it if they ever believed that. I believe it grieves God to chastise or discipline us.

His favor lasts a lifetime. Favor can be an act of kindness beyond what is due or usual. That makes me think of the favor of God. The favor of God is Him stepping into your situation and making a difference. When you’re connected to God’s favor, you’re connected to His Grace and Mercy. God will give you favor when you express remorse over your sin. His favor is not like man. Man’s favor is conditional. God’s favor is unconditional. Most of the time you don’t deserve it. Man’s favor is limited and temporary. God’s favor is vast, far reaching and lasts a lifetime. God’s favor is eternal.

Yes weeping may stay for the night. For me that speaks volumes. For me there are no more hopeful or comforting words than these. Sometimes when you’re troubled you may cry all night long. The night can seem to never end. But if you can just hold on. God promises your help is on the way. It truly makes a difference when you see the sun on the horizon. Oh what a difference the day makes. Just that little glimmer or spark of daylight can cause joy to well up in your soul. The joy of the Lord is our strength. Yes rejoicing truly does come in the morning.

Psalm 62:5-6

5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him.

6 Truly he is my rock and salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

Often times in our daily lives it can be overwhelming to deal with our physical, mental and emotional well being. Especially when we must also interact with the emotions of our children, spouses, other relatives, friends, and colleagues. At times we push ourselves to the max, and give more than we get. Not realizing we’re overextending ourselves until it’s too late. It can sometimes lead to one’s health failing, anxiety, insomnia, and depression.

But as believers we can be encouraged and also minister to others the benefit of finding rest in God. In verse 5 like David we can face challenges and stressful situations. Be assured that God is working on our behalf. If you let Him, God will step in and take over. He fights for us. We need to stress less and trust more. So stop worrying about it. Not only is He fighting for us, He helps us to go through it. So don’t fall apart. Don’t keep focusing on, talking about, and rehearsing it. That can open the door for doubt and the enemy to distract us. Trust in God, not material or human fixes.

Now looking at verse 6. If we are truly resting in God by praying and waiting on Him we know that God is our rock and our fortress. He is in control. So when things get chaotic we can seek comfort in knowing that He has our backs. Ultimately God is a refuge, a shelter, and protection from distress, danger, and storms. We must stay put, and stand firm in the mist of the storm. Because we have been obedient to God, He will protect us. God continues to encourage us with his promises. Be steadfast, look to me, hold on to me, trust me, and I will give you rest. I will be your rock, and your fortress! You will not be shaken!!

Psalm 20:4
4 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

Throughout our lives we make plans daily. We plan our tasks for the day. We even plan for the future. We plan for future vacations, plan to take time out for ourselves, and even plan what we’re going to eat that day or even a future day. Even in school one might remember a teacher asking what we planned to be when we grew up?

First, He may give you the desire of your heart. In the natural we know that the heart is the most crucial organ of our body. That’s one of the ways we check to see if a person is still alive. Whether or not they have a pulse. When your heart stops, you stop. In the spiritual we see our hearts are corrupt from sin. So God must check our motives. When giving us the desires of our hearts it does not necessarily mean that everything we want we will get. We must know the will of God. We must want whatever God wants for us.

Second part of the scripture reads, and make all your plans succeed. Oh how reassuring that is. How comforting it is to know if we seek God that He will ensure our plans will be successful and we will be prosperous. But we must be focused on God and not just on our plans. Not believing only on our abilities. We must trust and believe in God. Often times it can be difficult and challenging. But if we stay the course it will become easier to wait on God.

Remember those plans are not whatever we want, but they are the plans and desires God has in store for us. Continue to read and study and let God give us the vision of how He wants the plans to come about. Like the scripture says, we make plans, but God orders our steps.

Psalm 91:11 NIV

11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;

We get up and automatically we do our daily routines. Eat breakfast, run errands, go to work or do numerous other things without fear that we will encounter opposition. We constantly hear of fights in public places, road rage, and even shootings where people have lost their lives just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Do we ever stop to think why we’re not the victim in these random and tragic events.

Psalm 91 is about protection and generally reflected upon as times of hardships. Let’s look at it as words of comfort. As Christians we receive comfort in knowing that there is a team of angels that go ahead of us no matter where we go or what we do to cover and stand guard over us. As long as we love Him and do His will. There are times even when we’re disobedient, His angels will guard us by His Grace and His Mercy!! Aren’t you glad that we serve a God that commands His angels to protect and stand guard over our lives and the lives of our families!
