Study Tips

The books of Psalm and Proverbs hold many truths that can be relevant to us
today.  Some of us however may not know just how to access those truths.  I
would like to give just one suggestion.  Read over the book of Psalm and
Proverbs every month and here is how. On the first day of the month, read Psalm
1, 31, 61, 91, 121 and Proverbs 1. Then the second day read Psalm 2, 22, 62, 92,
122 and Proverbs 2. And then just continue on through the month.  In February
you may want to read a few extra chapters at the end of the month and in the
months with more than 30 days you can read Proverbs 31 and you might want to
re-read some of the Psalm and Proverbs that stuck out to you or just take some
time to praise God for the truths that He is revealing to you.  This is just a
suggestion.  Tailor it to your specific needs and study habits.
If you have missed any parts of multi-
part devotions, please send a
request to the above e-mail address
and we will send it to you via e-mail,
or leave your name and address and
we will mail it to you.

My Shelter
Have you ever thought, “How can a God of Love
send someone to Hell?” The answer is, He
doesn’t. Have you ever wondered when a small
child is abused, injured, or killed where was
God? He was right there. Have you ever
wondered why it seems like you pray to God but
you get no answers? If you have ever asked any
of these questions or maybe you have others
like them, send them to me at
talkaboutit@zoebiblechurch.org. Let’s discuss
them a little in some of these devotional
postings. Be blessed.

Salvation Prayer
My Shelter (part two)

Did you take some time this weekend to read over and meditate on Psalm 91? Let’s look at the
first two verses. 1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the
Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Psalm 91:1-2. (NIV). What does it mean to “dwell?” Well, at www.m-w.com it defines the word
dwell as 1: to remain for a time. or 2a: to live as a resident b: exist, lie. Using these
definitions we can ask ourselves are we going to remain in His shelter? Are we going to reside
there or exist there? Are we going to lie down to rest there? The Amplified Bible puts it this
way: 1HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the
shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].2I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge
and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust! Psalm 91:1-2.
(Amp). A footnote in the Amplified says this about these two verses: “The rich promises of this
whole chapter are dependent upon one's meeting exactly the conditions of these first two verses
(see Exod. 15:26).” There verses from Exodus puts it this way: 26Saying, If you will diligently
hearken to the voice of the Lord your God and will do what is right in His sight, and will listen to and
obey His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon you which I
brought upon the Egyptians, for I am the Lord Who heals you. Exodus 15:26. (AMP). So are you
dwelling in the shelter of the Most High? Are you resting in His shadow? Is He your refuge and
fortress and do you trust in Him? If you do, we will see in the next few sessions just what is
promised for you there. If not, then seek Him now while He may be found and enter into His
shelter. Be blessed.

My Shelter (part three)

So, now are you dwelling in Him? Whether you are or you are not, let’s look at some of the
things He said that He would save you from. 3 Surely He will save you from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will
find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 5 You will not fear the terror of
night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the
plague that destroys at midday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right
hand, but it will not come near you. 8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment
of the wicked. Psalm 91:3-8. (NIV). The Amplified Bible puts it this way: 3For [then] He will
deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.4[Then] He will cover you
with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His
faithfulness are a shield and a buckler. 5You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of
the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day,6Nor of the pestilence that
stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.
7A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near
you.8Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as
you witness the reward of the wicked. Psalm 91:3-8. (Amp). When God the Father is your shelter
and your fortress, when you are dwelling there, those things that beset the wicked will not
come near you. Be blessed.

My Shelter (part four)

God has legions upon legions of angels at His beck and call. If He ever came down to not
having enough angels, He would simply create more. These angels are just waiting for the
Lord to give them an assignment or for us to speak the Word of God. Read these next
verses and see what, if you have made the Lord your refuge, God is ready to do for you. 9 If
you say, “The LORD is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, 10 no harm
will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. 11 For He will command His angels
concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you
will not strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will
trample the great lion and the serpent. Psalm 91:9-13. (NIV). The Amplified Bible puts it this
way: 9Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
10There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent.11For He will
give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your
ways [of obedience and service].12They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot
against a stone. 13You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall
you trample underfoot. Psalm 91:9-13. (Amp). Now, we all know who the serpent is, if you
have ever read Genesis, in closing, read these verses from 1 Peter about the lion that we
will trample under our feet. 7Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your
worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and
cares about you watchfully. 8Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and
cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in
fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour. 9Withstand him; be firm in faith
[against his onset--rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined], knowing that the
same (identical) sufferings are appointed to your brotherhood (the whole body of Christians)
throughout the world. 1 Peter 5:7-9. (Amp). Be blessed.
