PSALM 91:14-15
14. Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows Me and understands My name (has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love and kindness; trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never).
15. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. Amp.
DEFINITIONS
Set -d) to cause to take a particular direction.
It seems Psalm 91 is a vast realm of informative quality, spiritual, teaching. It can take us deeply into valuable wealth that will prepare us for the future. I believe we are called to dwell in the heavenly realm, seated next to Jesus as it says in Ephesians 2:5-6.
When I looked up the word “set” in the dictionary, it was almost half the page. This definition seemed to fit what the Lord is saying. The Lord is saying in verse 14, because we have taken this action of setting our love upon Him, He will deliver.
This is something we must do. It does not come automatically just because we have love in our heart for God. How do we set it upon Him? We must take a particular direction. We all have families, duties, chores and some have jobs of some kind to attend to. We cannot let things get in the way of this. He is testing us to see what we value the most. That is where we will set our love and affections. He must be first for Him to deliver us and set us on high.
Ephesians 2:6 And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together – giving us joint seating with Him – in the heavenly sphere (by virtue of our being) In Christ Jesus, the Messiah, the Anointed One. Amp.
When the scripture says, “In Christ,” it means led by the Spirit and not the flesh. It means we are giving control to the Holy Spirit and not letting the flesh rule anymore. By faith we follow the Lamb and because He comes to dwell and make us His habitation we are filled with His love, and we are changed and are set on high in the heavenly realm next to Jesus.
This change should be reflected in our walk. Now we know and have experienced His love for us. Because we do not let the flesh have its control over us we are set free to spend much more time with Him. We do not have interruption after interruption anymore. We are dwelling in the heavenly realm with Him and Satan is not allowed there.
Now if we are dwelling in the heavenly realm, we are freed from the hurts of this world and are delivered from all bondages. Why? Because we have faith in Who He is knowing He is not like the people of the earth that we have been hurt by. We can trust Him to never leave us or hurt us like they have. Our past starts to fade away as we experience and learn of His great love, kindness and mercy.
Every time we call, He will answer! He will deliver us, be with us in any trouble and honor us.
This is the best there is!
