Scripture Memory Team Verse 18 – September 15, 2015

Psalm 91:14-16 (NLT)
¹⁴ The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.
    I will protect those who trust in my name.
¹⁵ When they call on me, I will answer;
    I will be with them in trouble.
    I will rescue and honor them.
¹⁶ I will reward them with a long life
    and give them my salvation.”

What a glorious group of promises from Psalm 91 – which happens to be one of my favorite Psalms. I want to break this down into all the “I’ wills.”  Note the verse begins with THE LORD SAYS – so when He says…we believe and trust!

• I will rescue those who love me. Do you love Him? Have you ever needed rescuing? From a situation, from a relationship, from your own self? He will rescue those who love Him. That’s a promise.
• I will protect those who trust in my name. Have you ever needed protection? How about every day? Of course we all do from the enemy of our souls. But then often  I need protection from my own thoughts and mouth (speaking before thinking) which takes me back to my April 15 verse from James 1:19 about being slow to speak.
• I will answer. This is sometimes harder to understand because we don’t know when He will answer. Sometimes the answers are:
  • Direct
  • Denied
  • Delayed
  • Different
    But the promise is there – HE WILL ANSWER. Wait in faith.
• I will be with them in trouble. Trouble comes calling to all of us in our lives. It could be of our own making or we could be completely blindsided by trouble. God is with us and He promises that.
• I will rescue and honor them. God will rescue us and He is always on time. Trust in Him.
• I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. A long life and salvation. A life here and eternal life there. The greatest promise of all.

STANDING ON THE PROMISES!
