“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. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation" (Ps 91:14-16; KJV).

The whole of Psalm 91 is wonderful but I love these last 3 verses. God will deliver us, set us on high, answer us, be with us in trouble, give us long life, save us and never forsake us.

However, I believe we have a part to play. What is our job? We need to show God how much we love him and make him the first priority in our lives, ahead of everything and everyone else. Our God is a jealous God (Ex 20:5; 2 Cor 11:2). We need to get to know him, his character, nature and power and understand how much he loves us. We should learn to truly appreciate all his blessings.

How do we do that? If God is our first priority, then that priority needs to have corresponding actions. Marriage without relationship is dead as is faith without action and confession (Mark 11:22-23). Making God number one must reflect in quality time spent with him; time in prayer and the word as well as just fellowship with him. Try it, it’s wonderful.
