I will answer you. Psalm 91:14-16: “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.” [NIV]
Acts 2:21: “And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” [NIV]
Psalm 91 is a beautiful song of protection for the one who seeks refuge and shelter in Almighty God. The song ends with a promise from God for those who call upon him … the promise is that God will answer. In God’s answer the seeker finds salvation.
On the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2), Peter restated God’s promise – “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
In this life we don’t always get answers for why things happen the way they do. We ask but often God is silent. I have a lot of questions, a lot of questions, about why some people seem to go through life unscathed by troubles and others have troubles roost with them throughout their lives. Yes, I have many questions and few answers.
There is one answer that always comes when we call upon God, however, and that is the answer to our greatest need. Our greatest need is for eternal salvation and God always answers us when we call to Him for that. Once our greatest need is met by God, does it really matter if we get all the other answers that we think we need?
“He will call upon me, and I will answer him …. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
