Day 136  God Is My Refuge

Psalm 91:2 (NIV)

 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

We have learned that when we speak the Word of God, the angels hearken to do the Father’s bidding.  I see it like this:  God hears us speak His promises and He turns to the angels and nods His head for them to obey the words that we speak.  I am not sure it’s exactly like that,  but it makes sense to me according to---

Psalm 103:20 (NIV)

Praise the LORD, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His bidding, who obey His word.

So how about if we start with Psalms 91:2 and say, “The Lord is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

In saying that, you are creating an atmosphere around you where His angels come and minister safety to you.  The atmosphere around you is impregnated with faith and faith draws the Father’s attention to your situation. God fills your atmosphere with angels to protect you.

Psalm 91:3 (NIV)

 Surely He will save you from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.

The Message Bible says the “fowler’s snare” are “deadly traps.”  That’s real good to be saved from!!

“Pestilence” is “deadly hazards.”  When we hear  about , we can know that we are protected from them.

Psalm 91:4 (NIV)

He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge;

When we feel afraid, we can know that God Himself covers us.  We are safe in His loving arms like a baby chick who runs to the mother hen’s wings when he sense a storm coming.

Psalm 91:4b (NIV)

….His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

God is faithful to us and His faithfulness is a shield, a defense and a protection for us.
