Most people know that dialing 911 will get them in touch with emergency help. Often, though, human rescuers alone cannot remedy the situation we face. Many times our crisis requires divine assistance. When that happens, we can turn to another kind of 911 – Psalm 91:1. There we find the help and protection of Almighty God. This verse reminds us that God is our shelter and we can rest in His shadow.

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” (Psalm 91:1)

When we face the crises of life, we often try to survive on our own. We forget that what we need most, God’s protection and the comfort of his presence, are available for the asking. The next time spiritual danger strikes, turn to Psalm 91:1.
