2 Samuel 16-18, Psalm 91
Psalm 91:14-16 (NLT)
“The Lord says, ‘I will rescue those who love me. I will 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.’”
In Psalm 91:14–16, we read about the Lord’s promises to those who love Him. Father-God declares that He will deliver and protect those who love Him, know His name, and trust in Him. He promises that when we call on Him, He will answer us and be with us in times of trouble. Through His presence and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, He rescues and sustains us. The Lord also promises to satisfy His people with long life and to show them His salvation.
When I read these verses, they encourage me to deepen my relationship with the Lord. I want my life to reflect that I love Father-God and know Him through His Word. I desire to trust fully in His protection and to have confidence that He hears me when I call on Him. I do not want to live with doubt about His presence, but to rest in the assurance that He is with me in every trial, giving me strength and comfort.
Recently, when I was very sick, I felt my faith being tested. I experienced symptoms I did not understand, and at first, I was so focused on how I felt that I did not immediately turn to the Lord. But I continued listening to preaching during the day and Scripture at night. By the third day, I began calling on the Lord to heal me. When I woke in pain during the night, I cried out to Father-God.
By the fourth day, the pain began to lessen, and I became more aware of the Holy Spirit’s guidance in how to care for my body. By the fifth day, I was improving, though I still had some fear that the symptoms might return. But by the sixth day, I knew the pain was completely gone. I called on the Lord, and He answered me. He delivered me, just as He promised.
If these verses resonate with you — if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who answers those who call on Him — this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
S. Brenda Elfgirl - I was told I am an elf in a parallel life, and I live in the Arizona desert exploring what this means. I've had this blog for a while and I write about the things that interest me. My spiritual teacher told me that my journey in life is about balancing "the perfect oneness of a sweetness heart and the effulgent soul". My inner and outer lives are like parallel lines that will one day meet, but only when there is a new way of thinking. Read on as I try to find the balance.
Thank you for viewing / reading my blog posts! I appreciate it!
