Peggy Joyce Ruth - Psalm 91 for Teens: Gods Shield of Protection for Your Future

W E CAN FIND Gods promises all through the Bible, but Psalm 91 is the only place whereall of His promises of protection are gathered together in one chapter. Psalm 91is a promise of protection for all of Gods people who love Him and trust Him todo what He says. The world gives us 911 as our emergency number to call if we getin trouble, but God has done better than that. He has given us Psalm 91:1:

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

Now that is a true 911 answer!

My prayer is that this book will lead you to study Psalm 91 until every fear is drivenout of your life. God wants you to know He will be faithful to bring about everyone of these promises if you will be faithful to Him. He wants more than anythingfor you to see and take hold of His salvation.
