What are you saying?
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust. Psalm 91:2
Psalm 91 verse 2 says, “I will say….” With an emphasis on the word “say”, I ask the question – What are you saying? As followers of Christ we must learn to verbalize our trust. We answer back to God what He said to us in the first verse. There is power in saying His Word back to Him!
We are not told to just think the Word. We are told to say the Word. Joel 3:10 tells the weak to say, “I am strong.” We find great men of God such as David, Joshua, and Jeremiah declaring their confessions of faith out loud in dangerous situations. Notice what begins to happen on the inside when you say, “Lord, You are my Refuge—You are my Fortress—You are my Lord and my God! It is in You that I put my total trust!” You begin to feel and think differently. The more we say it out loud, the more confident we become in His protection. Power is released by saying it out loud. When we say it and mean it, we are placing ourselves in His shelter.
Prayer for today: Lord, thank You for the protection promises available in Psalm 91. Help me learn to put my total trust in You as I speak Your Word aloud and believe it in my heart. You are my refuge. In the name of Jesus. Amen
