Psalm 91 - I Trust Him

As I had written before, since I began Project of Love, I'd been experiencing increasingly severe headaches. The kind that makes it impossible to do anything else but lie still in the dark. Crippling. It would at least cost me three days of a week. Three days I could've spent writing new Project of Love songs.

After having tried just about anything, it finally dawned on me: this is no coincidence, this smells like the enemy's work (it usually smells like crap 😉), which incidentally is why he's referred to as lord of the flies.

So I started searching for scripture that talks about healing. I found quite a lot of them, and most of them I've put to music, for you to enjoy soon. :-)

But Psalms 103 (already released) and 91 are amazing Psalms that boldly speak of healing. Especially 91 is spot on!

So, when the headaches came, I started singing Psalm 91. I still remember the first time: I had tears in my eyes from the pain pounding in my head and eyes, but those tears soon turned into tears of joy as I kept on singing Psalm 91. I was amazed to find the pain had left me!

I found two profound truths in that moment. It's really hard to sing songs of worship when you're suffering, but when you do, you become a living sacrifice, and you're showing the enemy, no matter what you do, I'll still praise my God.

And second, something happens, shifts, when in 'your' pain (it's not YOUR pain btw, don't fall for this lie!) you start singing: "You alone are my refuge, my place of safety, you are my God and I trust you".

That's when the headache lost. Try it. There's so much power in His Word. Believe it and start singing the Word. We especially created reading plans with Scripture songs for healing here in the Bible App.

But don't just listen to the songs: when you can, sing it out loud. Faith is voice activated! 😉

Psalm 91 – I Trust Him

1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
He is my God, and I trust Him.

3 For He will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease.

4 He will cover you with His feathers.
He will shelter you with His wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.

5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.

6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you.

8 Just open your eyes.

9 If you make the Lord your refuge,
if you make the Most High your shelter,

10 no evil will conquer you;
no plague will come near your home.

11 For He will order His angels
to protect you wherever you go.

12 They will hold you up with their hands.

13 You will trample upon lions and cobras;
crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!

14 “I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.

15 When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.

16 I will reward them with a long life.”

2 He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
He is my God, and I trust You.
