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 (Psalm 91:14).
Our opening verse unveils God’s prophetic utterance and the Psalmist’s
inspired words. He begins by sharing his testimony of God, from his
perspective, and then the Spirit of God takes over, and brings this prophetic
utterance from the lips of the Father. When you read the preceding verses,
you’ll notice that the Psalmist was the one speaking from his own inspired
communication and personal testimony of God. But suddenly, there’s a change, a
transition into the prophetic utterance; God began to speak and He said,
“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. ” Isn’t this inspiring? He’s
talking about God’s protection. The question is, “Have you set your love upon
Him?”
If you set your love upon the Lord, the result is: He’ll deliver you, and
set you on high. That means you’re forever set up for greatness and limitless
possibilities in life. All you need is to set your love upon Him. This is
something you’ve got to do, and then claim the result for yourself. You say,
“Because I’ve set my love upon Him, therefore has He delivered me, and set me
on high, because I’ve known His name!” Make this your confession.
In the fifteenth verse, we find God still talking; He says, “He shall
call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will
deliver him, and honour him.” Why? He says, “Because he hath set his love upon
me.” For the one who has set his love upon the Lord, God doesn’t only deliver
him, He also honours him. If you already have your hands up in praise to Him,
read the sixteenth verse and you’ll dance for joy. It says, “With long life
will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation” (Psalm 91:16). These and more are the blessings you’d experience when you set your love
on the Lord; when you channel your emotions towards Him and make Him the
personality of your deepest affection.
PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for keeping me in permanent safety, and
for the life of greatness you’ve brought me into! You’re my strength, my glory,
and my salvation, and I love you with all my heart! Thank you, for your
infinite kindness, grace and mercy that I experience today, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
FURTHER STUDY: Psalm 84:11 GNB The Lord is our protector and glorious
king, blessing us with kindness and honour. He does not refuse any good thing
to those who do what is right. (Psalms 84:11 GNB)
Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on
thee: because he trusteth in thee.
(GNB) You, Lord, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm
and put their trust in you.
Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that
put their trust in him.
