Psalm 91 part 5
Good morning, good morning, good morning. This is the impact, man, and you know what time it is. It’s time to rise and grind. So go ahead, grab your cup of coffee, grab your device, and let’s get into this word. All right, we are in Psalm 91, Psalm 91.
In today’s episode of Morning Meditation for Men, Pastor S. Geoffrey Monts dives into Psalm 91, with a special focus on verse 13: “Thou shalt tread upon the lion and the adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample underfoot.” This verse symbolizes the authority and power that God grants to those who are in Christ.
Key Insights:
- Positioning: The first note of the four-part harmony found in Psalm 91 is positioning. You need to be in the right place for God to use you effectively. Once you’re in the right position, things will fall into place.
- Protection: The second note emphasizes God’s promise of protection. When you’re in His arms, no evil shall befall you. This was beautifully illustrated by the song “I’m in the Safety of His Arms” by Lucretia Campbell.
- Provision: The third note highlights God’s provision. He takes care of His own. As Psalm 37:25 states, “I have been young and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.”
- Power: The fourth and final note is power. Psalm 91:13 shows that we have authority over our challenges and adversities. This power is grounded in our faith and our relationship with Christ.
The Power of Words:
Proverbs 18:21 tells us that “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” What we speak has the power to shape our reality. Speaking life and positivity aligns with God’s word and manifests His promises in our lives.
Spiritual Authority:
Luke 10:19 assures us of the authority given to us: “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” This aligns with the promise in Isaiah 54:17 that “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper.” When we submit to God and resist the devil, as instructed in James 4:7, the enemy will flee from us.
Living in Power:
1 John 4:4 reminds us that “Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.” By tapping into the Holy Spirit within us, we can walk in the power and authority that God has given us. We are not alone; we are protected, provided for, and empowered by God.
Call to Action:
Pastor Monts encourages listeners to exercise their authority in Jesus’ name and submit their lives fully to God. Through prayer and reliance on the Holy Spirit, we can stand firm against the enemy and walk in the power and purpose God has for us.
Prayer:
Father, we honor you today. We magnify and glorify you for all that you have done and are doing in our lives. Help us to step into the authority you have given us, to submit our lives to you, and to stand firm in your word. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
