Psalm 91:15 He shall call on me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.… Peter speaks of "exceeding great and precious promises" (2 Peter 1:4). The promises of the text are among this number. I. HE WILL ANSWER THEIR PRAYERS. He answers — 1. Kindly. 2. Quickly. 3. Always. 4. More abundantly than we ask. 5. Wisely. II. HE WILL BE WITH THEM IS TROUBLE. We cannot escape trouble in this world (Job 5:7). In trouble many persons are forsaken of their friends. But God is the companion and friend who is nearest to us when we need Him most. In poverty, persecution, sickness and death He will be with us. III. HE WILL DELIVER THEM. 1. Surely. 2. By unexpected means. 3. Completely. 4. Eternally. IV. HE WILL HONOUR THEM. It is not wrong to seek honour, but we should seek the best (Romans 2:7; John 5:4, 44). God honoured Moses, Joshua, David, Ruth. These promises belong only to the people of God. (Anon.)
