We talked about Psalm 91 at the Hope for the Home Front Bible study tonight. It was brought to my attention years ago by my dear friend, Melissa. This Psalm has provided a lot of comfort to me over these past few deployments. My Mom always taught me to personalize God's word as it makes it so much more meaningful. I shared this tonight with the ladies. So, here goes my personalized version of Psalm 91:
Kelly who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Kelly will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Surely He will save Kelly from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover Kelly with his feathers, and under his wings Kelly will find refuge; his faithfulness will be Kelly's shield and rampart.Kelly will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at Kelly's side, ten thousand at Kelly's right hand, but it will not come near Kelly. Kelly will only observe with his eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
If Kelly makes the Most High his dwelling— even the LORD, who is his refuge-then no harm will befall Kelly,no disaster will come near Kelly's tent. For he will command his angels concerning Kelly to guard Kelly in all his ways; they will lift Kelly up in their hands, so that Kelly will not strike his foot against a stone. Kelly will tread upon the lion and the cobra; Kelly will trample the great lion and the serpent.
"Because Kelly loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for Kelly acknowledges my name. Kelly will 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 Kelly and show him my salvation."
This passage of Scripture is FULL of God's promises and is especially meaningful to those of us who have sent our husbands to fight battles overseas.
