Shadow of Shaddai (Psalm 91)

If there was ever a psalm for our day, it has to be Psalm 91.  So many people have turned to it for protection, comfort and reassurance.  God gave it to us in order to grow our faith and help us put confidence in him. 

If you are getting started in a relationship with God, trying to have a quiet time or seeking guidance at this point in your life, you're in the right place.

Spend your first fifteen minutes of the day listening to God and responding in a personal way.  This podcast will show you how and teach you in an easy to follow process.

In fifteen minutes (or less) you will listen to God's word for you, reflect on it and learn to pray to God as well as carry that word with you through the rest of your day.  What a perfect way to get started!

We are listening to Psalm 91 from Book 4 of the Psalms.  It is a psalm of confidence, trust and a prayer for God's protection.   It teaches us to call on God and even gives us four names for him:  Most High (Elyon), Almighty (Shaddai), Yahweh, and God (Elohim). It also gives us several descriptions or images of his help: hiding place, shadow, refuge, fortress as well as shield and rampart.  Though the threats and dangers that can assault us are many, God's protection is more secure and he sends angels to to guard and help us.  The last three verses has God speaking directly to us, promising to rescue, protect, answer, be with us, deliver, honor, satisfy and show us salvation.  Grab hold of one of these truths and meditate on it today.

Go ahead and get started listening and follow/subscribe to this podcast to hear more from God's word. 

As we progress in season three get a copy of the book God Help Me Grow: Learning to Pray through the Psalms on Amazon (or the ebook) so you can pray all of the first 30 psalms in the book of Psalms.
