The Lord Is My Refuge!

"For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways" (Psalm 91:11 NIV);

Who will command angels to guard us? The Lord will, if we say, "The Lord is my refuge" (vs. 9) and make the Most High our dwelling place, "The Lord" will make sure no harm overtakes or comes near us.

If He is our refuge--our shelter from harm--and we live within the safety of His arms--we have no need to fear anything. Not only will He make sure that nothing harms us, He won't let disaster come near us. Say it now, "The Lord is my refuge!"

When Wall Street comes tumbling down or soaring high, "The Lord is my refuge!"

When doctors give us an uncertain prognosis, "The Lord is my refuge!"

In the middle of storms of nature or emotions, "The Lord is my refuge!"

When it seems like all hope is gone, "The Lord is my refuge!"

When we cannot see solutions because of the problems, "The Lord is my refuge!"

When we have more questions than answers, "The Lord is my refuge!"

When we have more bills than money, "The Lord is my refuge!"

When spouses don't act right, "The Lord is my refuge!"

When children or grandchildren get on our last nerves, "The Lord is my refuge!"

When lawmakers don't do their jobs, "The Lord is my refuge!"

When preachers won't preach the Truth, "The Lord is my refuge!"

This should not just be a mantra, but a way of acknowledging who we believe and trust because when we make this acknowledgment, He will encamp angels all around us to keep us from harm. He will remind us that by His Spirit we have access to all truth and He will direct our paths. He will bridle our tongues before we say anything stupid if we just say, "The Lord is my refuge" first.

Our angels have been given an assignment, to protect us and guard us in all of "our ways" so no harm can come before us. If we will do what He says, He will do what He has promised. Are we going to do it? No weapon formed against us shall prosper because our angels will intercept and deflect any of the fiery darts that the enemy sends our way. Hallelujah!  "The Lord is my refuge!"
