Who is GOD? Psalm 91

There are certain passages in the Bible that just soothe the soul. For me, Psalm 91 administers the best anti-anxiety medication on the planet. It brings comfort, assurance and peace in the midst of trials, (if you'll take the time to ingest it several times a day.) It is a place to hurry UP to when trouble comes. It helps us to remember Who Almighty God IS, and who we are ...that's a good place to start when our problems seem overwhelming.

Psalm 91 promises me that I can go to God for protection, He defends me like a good Father would, "The LORD is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."vs. 2

Psalm 91 also tells me that God comforts me and soothes me like a gentle Mother would, "He will cover you with his feathers, and under His Wings you will find refuge" vs 4

Psalm 91 instructs me to go to Him, as His Child, and watch Him work:
"You will observe with your eyes, and see the punishment of the wicked." vs 8. God does it, He works it out for us, and allows us to observe Him.

Sometimes, if He solves our problem quickly, we may miss seeing Him. The crisis passes; we just assume that it all "worked itself out or "blew over." We hurry on to the next thing, forgetting to even send up a prayer of thanks.

Sometimes, if a crisis goes on a L-O-N-G time, we may start to believe that we're not doing enough, not getting enough imput from friends. If we do not wait for God's answer, we rob ourselves of the opportunity to see Him at work. Stop & Think about that for a moment.

The last paragraph of Psalm 91 tells us: 1) what our role is; AND, 2) what God's Role is. Ours job is simply to love Him back, that's it! And, How do show God our love? By hurrying to HIm first & knocking on His Door till we get an answer. Keep asking; but, wait for His Answer before moving.

1) What do I do? What's my part? Just 1 thing: LOVE Him~ Psalm 91 vs 14a

2) Who is God; What does He do? Everything else~ Psalm 91 vs 14b-16:
He RESCUES me, PROTECTS me, ANSWERS me, IS WITH me, DELIVERS me, HONORS me, SATISFIES me, and shows me HIS SALVATION.

It' s not an even exchange; but then, with God it never is! His Word assures us that HE is able to do exceedingly above what we can even think or imagine. We can rely upon the finished work of The Cross, Jesus has already done it all. He just calls us to be still and understand what He did and continues to do for us; our part is simple, He is easy to love.
