| 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:
- What situations in your life require you to speak trust instead of fears?
- 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.
Amen.
