Daily devotion – Who is watching over you?
Psalm 91:
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
There is something truly wonderful to be able to live each day with the knowledge that Almighty God the Creator of Heaven and earth, is watching over you!
We cannot as followers of Christ avoid confronting unknown perils, but we can escape their evil consequences.
If you will notice in these verses the names of God used encourage us to trust Him. He is the Most High – Elyon – verse 1 and later verse 9 as well. This name is first found in Genesis 14:18-20. He is higher than the kings of the earth and the false gods of the nations.
He is also the Almighty – Shaddai – the all-sufficient God who is adequate for every situation. He is LORD – Jehovah – verse 2 and later verse 9, the covenant-making God who is faithful to His promises (I love knowing that!)
He is God – Elohim – the powerful God whose greatness and glory surpasses anything we can imagine. This is the God who invites us to fellowship with Him in the Most High Place!
Walk today with the confidence and knowledge that Elyon, Shaddai, Elohim is watching over your every step!
