The God who will Rescue and Be With Us

Our God is a promiser.

It's one of the great adventures of reading His Word: being led to a promise that is very personal or pertinent in real time.

In reading Psalm 91, starting in verse 14 through 15, God has a personal promise for those who love Him.

Here it is, adapted slightly, as it was written in my journal recently:

 "Because you love me," says the Lord,

I will rescue you;

I will protect you, 

for you acknowledge My name

You will call upon Me, 

and I will answer you;

I will be with you in trouble,

I will deliver you

and honor you."

I actually wrote my name in after each of the phrases to make it really personal- "Because you love me, Mary Ann..."

Let's find a promise this week and take it captive in this way...from the God of the Universe to us, personally.
