Welcome! My name is Richard Templin Hancock and I am a senior citizen who has found great peace in his old age in the forgiveness that Jesus Christ offers to sinners. I enjoy reading my Bible and recording short Devotional podcasts with the aim to encourage us all to have faith in God and follow His Son Jesus Christ every day.

Jesus is our refuge and dwelling place

When I reflect on this Psalm I think of Jesus being my "secret place of the most High" and my "refuge" and "dwelling place." I encourage you to look to Him right now.

Psalms 91:1-16  He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;

nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.

Because you have made LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,

no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.

They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.

You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.

“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honour him.

I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”

I will set him on high

Psalms 91:14 Because He has set His love upon me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.


I love the fact that God not only delivers us but sets us on high! When I'm low, God will set me on high!
When I despair, God sets me on high!

Follower of Christ: think about the times God has done this for you. Be assured we serve a loving and mighty God.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.

Don't fret. Look up with hope to your Heavenly Father. Seek Him out in prayer. Tell Him your problems and ask for His help.

Psalms 9:10
And they that know Your name will put their trust in You: for You, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek You.

Set your affection on things above

Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Psalms 91:14
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

Psalms 119:36-37
Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

Proverbs 23:5
Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

Don't be deceived

2 Corinthians 11:3-4 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different “good news”, which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough.

Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who labour and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Matthew 16:24-27 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.
