Under God's Wings (Psalm 91) Part 3


Promised Exaltation (verses 14-16)

14“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
         I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15He will call on me, and I will answer him;
         I will be with him in trouble,
      I will deliver him and honor him.
16With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

The crowning gifts of glory are seen in the face of our Lord Jesus Christ. In him we find the fullness and depth of God’s redemption. Our relationship with God finds expression in our communion with Him. God will reveal Himself in His love and His glory to those who commit themselves to Him in trust.

Thank You, exalted God, that You will deliver us and protect us. You will satisfy us and show us Your salvation. Thank You that when we call to You, You answer us. Thank You that You are with us in our troubles. Thank You for ultimately rescuing us and honoring us.

Under His wings I am safely abiding;
Though the night deepens and tempests are wild,
Still I can trust Him—I know He will keep me;
He has redeemed me and I am His child.
William Orcutt Cushing (1823-1902)
