"Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name' v14 Psalm 91:14-16 NKJV
God has promised to deliver and protect those who set their love on Him. They can count on God to rescue and satisfy them with the full-length of life planned for each one, and then a wonderful salvation. Added to this, are all the other benefits of giving one's life over to God. We will never be in lack, in anything.
The word used 'love' in verse 14, is not the usual Hebrew word for love. Rather, it has the idea of 'holding close to', or even, 'hugging tightly in love'. This is a wonderful picture of our commitment to Him. He is faithful and gives His all without, holding back.
Charles F Stanley comments on verse 15: In prayer, we connect our need to God's supply. We bring our emptiness to His unending love and provision and ask Him to satisfy us. Our deficits are no match for His abundance, and He assumes full responsibility for our needs when we obey Him' Philippians 4:19.
I love the statement, 'Our deficits are no match for His abundance.' We may have nothing as we approach the Throne of God but, He has an abundance to give to us, and He does, as we trust Him. We may feel inadequate and of no value to God but, as we approach Him, He shows us we have. When we are insecure, He makes us feel secure; when we lack confidence, He builds our confidence up. He edifies us, accepts us and loves us.
No matter what you are going through today, He understands your emotions and the way you feel. He has seen the tears that you have shed and has gathered them up. He has recognised that you have set your love upon Him and He is hugging you tightly. He knows your fears, the pain you are going through at this time; and He cares so much. Allow me to quote verses 14-16 from The Passion, which is paraphrased but, helps us see the gems that are hiding in these verses:
'For here is what the LORD has spoken to me: Because you have loved Me, delighted in Me, and have been loyal to My name, I will greatly protect you. 15 I will answer your cry for help every time you pray, and you will feel My presence in your time of trouble. I will deliver you and bring you honour. 16 I will satisfy you with a full life and with all that I do for you. For you will enjoy the fullness of My salvation.'
Now just allow those wonderful words to wash over you and fill your spirit with the security and love that God wants you to have at this time.
With every blessing.
