Sanctified Steps: My Refuge, My Fortress| Psalm 91:2 (KJV)

 

My Fortress, My Fortress| Psalm 91:2

📖 Scripture:

“I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” — Psalm 91:2 (KJV)

---

Devotional:

Psalm 91:2 begins with a choice.

“I will say of the Lord…”

This verse is not a reaction to fear — it is a declaration made before fear takes hold. It reminds us that faith is not only something we feel; it is something we speak.

A refuge is where we run when life feels overwhelming.
A fortress is where we stand when we need protection and strength.

God offers Himself as both.

This verse invites us to name who God is to us personally — not based on circumstance, not based on outcome, but based on trust. It is a quiet confidence that settles the heart and steadies the mind.

When uncertainty rises, Psalm 91:2 teaches us to anchor our words in truth:
God is my refuge.
God is my fortress.
God is my God — and in Him, I will trust.

Reflection:  

1. What situations in your life require you to speak trust instead of fears?
2. How might declaring who God is help shift your perspective today?

Daily Wisdom Insight:

Faith grows stronger when we choose to declare our trust in God, even before circumstances change.

Practical Application:

Begin your day with this declaration:

“I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress. In Him, I will trust.”

Speak it aloud if you can.
Let the words settle in your spirit.
Allow trust to replace tension.

Prayer:

Father,

Tonight I choose to say of You what I know to be true.
You are my refuge when life feels uncertain.
You are my fortress when I feel weak.
You are my God, and I place my trust in You.

Help me rest in Your protection
and find peace in Your presence.

Teach my heart to trust You fully,
even when I cannot see what lies ahead.

I receive Your covering,
Your strength,
and Your peace.

In Jesus’ name, 
Amen.
