Alright, thank you very much. And hello again, radio friends. How in the world are you? Doing Alright? Well, I trust so, bless your heart. I’m glad to be back with you. I feel fine, happy to be given the privilege of sharing the Word of God with you. For most of you it’s in the early morning hours, although some of you hear the broadcast in the afternoon and a few in the late evening or night hours as well. But for the most part, I like to get up early in the morning and realize that I feel just about the same way you feel when you yawn and stretch and say, “Oh boy, another day.” There’s one thing that’s sure, you don’t want somebody hollering at you that early in the day, do you? [laughter] I try. Oh, I’ve just been praying that God would put His love in my voice, His blessing and His truth and His power, but most of all His love. So many people are lonely and neglected and down and discouraged. And maybe something that the Lord may say through yours truly, will encourage your heart in these moments. That’s what I wanna do, I wanna put a handle on the Word of God, so that you can get hold of it for yourself. God bless you.

We’re looking at Psalm 91, for a little break in between book study– we finished the book of Mark. And I thought, “Well, lets look at a Psalm.” I love the Psalms, don’t you? The last time we got together, we were walking through the first three and a half verses of the Psalm, “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high.” If you wanna find the secret place, you have to start obeying. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear, that means obey Him. “He that hath My words and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me and I will love him, my Father will love him, We will come unto him and make our abode with him.” Jesus said. The secret place of the Most High is the place of prayer and obedience. Then if you’re there, it says, “You’ll abide under the shadow of the Almighty, the presence, the real presence of God.” The awareness of God’s presence comes from obeying God’s will. You wanna mark that down as a sort of an axiom in your own mental notebook, something that is always true. The awareness of God’s presence comes from obedience to God’s will.

Notice how that works out in other scriptures, our Lord Jesus gave us, for instance, what we call the great commission, “Go ye into all the world and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I’ve commanded you.” That is a command, not an option, incidentally. Missionary work, the evangelization of our world is a command, not an option; we need to obey it. And when we do, then our blessed Lord says, “Lo, I am with you.”

Now, Paul says the same thing over in Philippians 4, “Those things you have heard, learned and seen and received in me, do.” That’s the action, that’s the obedience, “And the God of peace shall be with you.” See, the awareness of God’s presence follows obedience to God’s will. It’s a great truth and once you learn it, you never forget it and it revolutionizes your life. “God is my refuge. I flee to my Lord when I can’t defend myself. God is my fortress. He makes me able to stand against every attack. He’s my God. He’s the one I worship and thus in Him will I trust.”
