Rescue & Honor

The last of Psalm 91:
“He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.  “With a long life I will satisfy him And let him see My salvation.”

Have you ever been in a situation of fear or disaster, or just a small calamity, and you called and called for someone to help – but no one was available?  I suppose nowadays that happens rarely, since we all have cell phones.  But even cell phones don’t have service, in the most remote of places.

God will always answer us when we call, he will be with us in troubled times, and he will rescue us – and honor us.

I love that!  He doesn’t just come swoop us up and drop us on a branch somewhere and leave us to find our way down the tree.  He rescues us and honors us.

Being rescued is great.   If a kid falls in a well and is rescued, that’s amazing.  If a soldier is in the middle of battle and a helicopter rescues him, that’s awesome. 

But what happens after the rescue is what heals, what satisfies, and what sustains.

God is with us AFTER the rescue, to establish us and satisfy our needs and show us his salvation – his restorative power and grace.


Call up on God.  Listen for his answer.  Feel his presence near you.  Look up for the rescue.  Experience his honor and the satisfaction of his complete love.  And see his salvation for you and yours
