Psalm 91:14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.”
Psalm 91:15 “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.”
Psalm 91:16 “With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.”
(Taken from today's reading in The One Year Bible 10/22/14)
1. God makes promises to those who love Him and know Him.
Psalm 91:14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.”
The Psalms are full of truths about God.
They include many promises He has made to us.
One basic truth here is that we can love and know God.
We did not always know and love Him.
But when we were saved we came into that relationship with Him.
Now we know Him, and can love Him.
2. What God promises to those who love and know Him.
Psalm 91:14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.”
Here is just one promise we have from God.
God promises to deliver His children.
God promises to set us on high.
God's promises are all for those who know Him.
These promises are therefore for you as a person who knows and loves God.
3. Several more specific promises from God for those who love Him and know Him.
Psalm 91:15 “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.”
Psalm 91:16 “With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.”
We can call upon Him, and He will answer us. That's a promise.
God promises to be with us in trouble. That's a promise.
He will deliver and honor us. That's a promise.
God will give us long life and will satisfy us. That's a promise.
God will show us His salvation. That's a promise.
4. Here's how these verses read in the NLT:
Psalm 91:14 “The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.”
Psalm 91:15 “When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them.”
Psalm 91:16 “I will satisfy them with a long life and give them my salvation.”
Some Questions:
1. Do you often think about the fact that God makes promises to you?
2. Do you know that when God makes a promise, that He makes good on His promises?
3. Can you, will you claim these promises as your own today?
4. Will you join me in giving thanks to God for His many wonderful promises?
A Prayer:
Father, we have no one like You, because there is no one like You. You alone are God, and You alone reign on high.
Thank You for being true and faithful and loving us so much. Thank You also for the comfort we derive daily from Your Word.
Your promises lift our hearts day by day, and we need that encouragement, Lord.
Help us to simply believe You when You speak to us.
Please show us how to apply what You show us.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
