Welcome to Insights on Healing Podcast. Our Episode today is “Resting in the shadow of the Almighty.” Today we will learn how God invites us to come to him with burdens that we have either small or large and how we can trust Him to cover us and shelter us and be our protector.
I am Joan M. Blake, author, and I am your host. The purpose of Insights on Healing podcast is to provide content that brings inner healing and restoration to individuals dealing with trauma and difficult life situations.
Insights on healing podcast includes the reading of scripture, praying for my audience, reading from one of my books or interviewing individuals who found purpose through the healing power of God. I pray that God would bless you and give you hope as you listen to this episode..Today’s podcast is taken from the book of Psalm 91. I am reading from the NIV version of the Bible.
Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
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[b] 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.”
Reflection:
We see from Psalm 91, that you and I are guaranteed to have refuge in God when we trust Him. We will not fear when our enemies try to attack us, because God is our refuge, our covering, our shield, and rampart. God promises to rescue us and protect us because we acknowledge Him. He promises to be with us in our troubles and deliver us and show us His salvation. What an awesome promise!
Let us pray:
In the name of Jesus, I pray for you who are going through a difficult time that you will not give up but believe and trust in God’s mighty name. I pray that you will understand fully that God is your covering and shield and that God is with you in your battles and He will never leave or forsake you. I decree and declare that you have deliverance in the name of Jesus Christ our savior and Lord. Amen
