Because He Loves You
Joyce Meyer – Aug 05, 2024
He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.
Psalm 91:15-16 (NIV)
Today’s scripture can be tied to another favorite scripture which says, “Because he loves me,’ says the Lord, ‘I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name” (Psalm 91:14 NIV). The psalmist is writing about angelic protection, and it is important to know that this protection does not mean we will never experience trial or affliction. It means we are protected from whatever the enemy ultimately plans for us as long as we keep our trust in God and believe and speak of Him in accordance with His Word.
Remember that Psalm 91:14 sets us up to receive certain promises from God because of our love for Him. In that context, the Lord says that He will answer us when we call on Him. He then makes several promises I’d like for us to focus on today, because they show us that our deliverance doesn’t always happen immediately; they represent a pattern, and a progression God often takes us through.
It took many years for me to see this pattern: God is with us in our trials and troubles, then He begins to deliver us out of them, and afterward He honors us. Then He satisfies us with long life and shows us His salvation. As we go through this progression, we will develop greater trust, peace, and joy in the Lord. Going through things with God helps us to develop a more intimate relationship with Him. Isn’t that what you want? I certainly do.
Prayer of the Day: Thank You, Lord, for Your promise that because I love You, You will be with me in my trials, You will deliver me, You will honor me, and You will satisfy me with long life and show me Your salvation.
