Devotion Psalm 91 Greatest Life. Greatest Reward. Greatest Risk

Psalm 91 “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”  3 Surely He will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.  4 He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.  5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.  7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.  8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.  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. 11 For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.  14 “Because He loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for He acknowledges my name. 15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

Hebrews 12:1-3 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.  3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

John 3:11 “He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.”

Hebrews 2:16-18 “For surely it is not angels He helps, but Abraham’s descendants. 17For this reason He had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that He might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.

Psalm 34:18 “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

Psalm 147:3 “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

Sometimes I bleed

Sometimes I am cut

I stop and look to see

How bad is the wound

I see the attack

I hear and see

The slicing of me

Pain explodes

Somehow

Fear is not a part of me

Seeing the gaping wound

I am not afraid

The wound

Even as the blade is

Finishing its cut

I quickly see

His hand

It follows the blade

Not one drop

Of blood

Issues forth

For directly behind

The blade

Is His healing hand

I fear not

Yes the cut was made

As I have been

Previously cut

Yet because of have been

Because of that experience

Knowledge of what follows

Is within me

It reminds me

That I may be cut

But I will never bleed

Wounds will happen

Healing follow with it

I have no blood to shed

His blood was already

Shed for me

Healing is not newly

Needed

It has never left me

Yes, I can be cut

Pain will happen

Never will it last

My God is with me always

Thought I am hurt

His life gives me life

Though I am wounded

Hope never leaves me

Because He

Is always with me

Whom shall I fear

What shall I fear

S will sometimes

Hurt me

But the cure comes

Quicker every time

For I know who is

My Help

The Lover

Of my soul

He who loves me

Beyond any other

Is He who watches

Over me and is

My Protector

And Provider

Thank you

Father,

Son,

And Holy Spirit

To love is

The greatest blessing

With the greatest risk

As you have done

And do

May I be like You

Trusting You in all ways

Knowing with the

Risks From Without

Is the love

And the healing

From within

Praise you Lord

Thank you Lord
