God Shields & Cares For Us

Rev Stillman Marhad been invited
in 1904 to preach at a New York City
church a few hours away from home.
But his wife became ill that Sunday
morning, and he was about to
cancel his speaking engagement.
Then his young son spoke up:
Father, don’t you think that if God
wants you to preach today, He will
take care of mother while you are
away? Martin made the trip, and
when he returned home later that
day he found that his wife Civilla
had written this hymn in his absence
inspired by Psalm 91:1-2. That
evening he composed the music.

Lord, we will put Trust In You:
Those who live in the shelter
of the Most High will find rest
in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my
place of safety; he is my God,
and I trust him (Psa 91:1-2).
He shall cover you with His
feathers and under His wings
you shall take refuge. His truth
shall be your Shield…(Ps 91:4).
If you make the Lord your refuge,
if you make the Most High your
Shelter, no evil will conquer you…
He will Order His Angels to protect
you wherever you go (v9-11) Amen.

Lord, all Your promises are true
and Your children are held safe
in the palm of Your very hand.
We purpose to abide under the
Shadow of the Almighty, and trust
Your reliable refuge, safety shield
& ministering angels watch over us
and Protect us wherever we go.
We set our love on You, and we
can count Your loving care. Amen

Lord, Thank You that in the midst of
life’s storms, I have Your Protection
when I come and dwell with You.
In facing stormy situation, You are
greater than any worry I may have.
As a mother bird shelters her
young, You will cover me with
Your wings and Shelter me.
Keep me safe and be a Shield
and Shelter for me, for my life
is in Your very hands. Amen.

Lord, Thank You that in Your
mysterious and powerful ways,
You Send Your Angels around
us to protect Your people
in their journeys through life.
And so I look to You as my refuge
and shelter so that I will live in
freedom of the Spirit and not fear,
for God Will Take Care of me. Amen.

Be not dismayed whate’er betide,
God will take care of you;
Beneath His wings of love abide,
God will take care of you…
All you may need He will provide,
God will take care of you;
No matter what may be the test,
God will take care of you…
God will take care of you.
Thru every day, o’er all the way;
He will take care of you,
God will take care of you. Amen.

Hearing God through His Word

Psalms Book Four (90-106)
mainly written by unknown authors
is similar to the book of Numbers.
Just as Numbers discusses the
relationship of the nation of Israel
to surrounding nations, these
psalms often mention the
relationship of God’s overruling
kingdom to the other nations.
Because we are citizens of the
kingdom of God, we can keep
the events and troubles of earth
in the proper perspective.

On Monday, we learn from Ps 90
that God Is Our Dwelling Place.
On Tuesday, we learn from Ps 91
that God Shields & Cares For Us.
On Wed, we learn from Ps 95/96
that God Is Our Maker & Saviour.
On Thu we learn from Ps 99/100
that God Is Forgiving & Merciful.
On Friday, we learn from Ps 103
that God Blesses Us With Benefits.
On Saturday, we learn from Ps 105
that God’s Plan Surely Will Not Fail.

Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face. Help us O God
be Christ’s disciples who Hear You:
For You are our Dwelling Place
and that You Shield & Care For Us.
For You are our Maker & Saviour
and also Forgiving and Merciful.
For You Bless us with Benefits
and that Your Plan Will Never Fail.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
