Welcome to week 11, our final meditation on Psalm 91. This week's meditation is on Psalm 91:16 (TPT). We'll also read Psalm 91 in its entirety to finalize everything in one beautiful flow of scripture. Are there areas in your life where the Lord wants to see you fully satisfied? Are there any mindsets or experiences in your life that are trying to come against it? I pray that God shows you what the fullness of His salvation looks like today. Be blessed, be amazing, and happy New Year!

Welcome to week 10 of our Psalm 91 series. This week's meditation on Psalm 91:15 (TPT) is summed up best through the following quote from Robert Morgan's book, Reclaiming the Lost Art of Biblical Meditation: Find True Peace in Jesus. "Biblical meditation is a habit that allows us to pause long enough to be still and know that God is God. It leads us to spiritual growth, emotional strength, deepening intimacy with the Lord, and soul steadying peace. There is healing and holy power in pondering, picturing, and personalizing passages of scripture from God's word. And that's my simple definition for true meditation. Biblical meditation is the powerful practice of pondering, personalizing, and practicing scripture." Blessing you to enter into true meditation of God's word this week and every week.

I'm humbled and honored to be here for part of it.
