Living Inside of Psalm 91

Do you read Psalm 91 and want to live in it?

That requires some self effort:

- Know and recall that the Lord does not fail with any of us.

- Rid yourself of unworthy and inappropriate suspicions concerning God's faithfulness, (lean not on your own understanding).

- Do battle with the World, the flesh and the devil from a position of victory, not failure.

- Earnestly remember; evil that doesn't serve Him is held back, (lean not on your own understanding).

- Give up any tone of distrust and despair, (lean not on your own understanding).

As Psalm 91 says:  "...on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I confidently trust!"

Scripture Merge

Last week, several events lined up, showing my 36 work-year experienced mind that significant loss is just around the corner - with no doubt.

That downward spiral of dark attitude started again. Then, a couple familiar scriptures merged together and gave me a heart-spoken dose of reality:

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding - which is a bruised and broken reed.  A reed which will pierce the hand of any man who leans on it."

Time to say goodbye to being self-destructive and trust in the Lord instead.
