Daily Open Post – Psalm 91:1-16

Psalm 91:1-16

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 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.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

 

I came across this interesting bit of trivia & thought I would share it with you today as we celebrate our Veterans. “Psalm 91 is quite commonly known as the soldier’s psalm as it is said many soldiers in WWI recited this psalm daily.”

Good morning & welcome!  This is an open post, please feel free to ask for prayers, to share your story or just say hello. We’re glad you’re here.

Father God,

Thank You for the promise of another day. You have blessed us with so much we can never thank You enough. Your grace has covered us & given us hope for an eternity spent with You. Your love sustains us & gives us the courage to go on in these ever-changing times. You are our Strength & our Redeemer, You are all we need. Father, as we each go about our days, I pray You will walk with us, that Your steady hand will guide us. I pray for the sick, the hurting, the lost, that You will heal them, comfort them & lead them to Your side.

In Jesus’ precious name,

Amen
