Psalm 91:14-16, "Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high , because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation."
When something is set, it is bound to something else. It is firmly secured and immovable. That is how our love for Him should be...nothing could pry us apart from Him.
When our love is set on Him, He will deliver...He gives us a way of escape and brings us into a place of security. And He will set us on high...place us in an inaccessibly high place safe from the enemy.
We can call His name and He is there to answer. Yes, it may not always be the answer we want...but it is the one that is best for us during that season in our life.
When we are troubled and in distress, He is there with us every step of the way. Distress is a general term for pain, discomfort, trial, heartache, torment, travail, etc. The list can go on and on. The point is, that no matter what it is, He IS there!
He will deliver us. In verse 16, the word deliver is translated to mean: to be equipped, to be strong, to brae up, to pull out or tear out, to rescue and/or set free. Once again, that covers a wide spectrum of what our God is capable of doing for those who set their love upon Him!
He will satisfy us. He will make sure that we are filled in excess of the things we need. He will enrich our lives beyond our comprehension.
He shows us His salvation. He guard us...He dispatches His angels to watch over us (Ps. 91:11). We have redemption. He provides us a place to recovery from the toll that sin can take on our lives.
Reading scriptures like this encourages me to keep on moving up higher...It builds me up in my spirit...and gives fuel to the fire in my heart to live for Him no matter what comes my way. What an AWESOME God we serve!
