—Psalm 91:1-8, 11-16
by: Cheryl Steele.
“‘If you’ll hold on to me for dear life,’ says God, ‘I’ll get you out of any trouble’” (v.4, MSG). I am not a big fan of The Message paraphrase of the Bible, but for me, this phrasing seems to say it all. God will not stop us from going our own way if we choose. But the tighter we cling to Him, the more protection He will provide. His angels will guard us on all sides. This does not mean, however, that we can deliberately charge headlong into trouble and then expect God to get us out of the situation.
