This week, for the Change Journey verse, I will be continuing to meditate on Psalm 91:14, “Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.” The phrase I want to consider today is “Therefore will I deliver him.”
Pursuing after God, seeking Him, desiring His presence, and finding my place near to His heart, has its rewards. If I set my love upon God, He will deliver me. That is His promise.
Deliver – carry away safe, cause to escape (Strong’s)
When I run to God, He will carry me away safe and cause me to find my escape in Him.
Escape – to get clear from danger of evil of any form; to be passed without harm (Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language, 1913 edition)
“7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. 8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” (Psalm 124:7,8)
Body
The tip for today for physical help is rest. Rest is so important for health, vitality, energy, and healing. God gave us a special day to rest – Sunday. I hope that your Sunday was a day of physical rest and spiritual refreshment for you.
On Friday and Saturday, I try to get all the cooking done for Sunday and Monday. That way I can rest on Sunday. Sometimes the extra work on Saturday is a bit tiring, but it is all worth it on Sunday. If the extra work is done Friday and Saturday, the afternoon hours on Sunday can be spent in time with the Lord or in restful activities that refresh both spirit and body.
