[The Glory Unveiled]
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. [ Psalms 91:15 NKJV ]
There is a kind of person whose cry God answers. When they call upon Him, He responds. He is with them in trouble, delivers them, honours them, and ultimately satisfies them with His salvation. This truth should cause us to pause and reflect, because it also reveals that God does not respond to everyone in the same way. Not every voice that calls upon Him is heard in the manner that receives these covenant promises. Many people pray every day, yet Scripture reveals that only some kind of people enjoy the fullness of His response. God is not moved by desperation alone; He is moved by hearts that are rightly positioned before Him.The preceding verse uncovers the foundation of these promises: “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him” (Psalm 91:14). Every promise that follows—including answered prayer, divine presence in trouble, deliverance, honour, long life, and salvation—rests upon this one condition: a heart that is steadfastly set upon God. To set your love upon the Lord is to make Him your greatest affection, highest pursuit, and deepest delight. It is to value Him above His gifts, to seek His presence above His provision, and to remain devoted to Him whether life is easy or difficult. Such a person has God’s attention. Their prayers carry weight because their hearts belong to Him. Instead of merely crying to God when trouble arises, let us first cultivate a life that is deeply in love with Him. When our hearts are set upon the Lord, we position ourselves within the pathway of His covenant promises. Then, when we call, He answers. When we are in trouble, He is with us. When we need deliverance, He delivers. And when He acts, He does so with honour and everlasting salvation.
