God made us for Himself. He alone is the One who made us and remakes us into the image of Jesus Christ, His perfect Son. Our problem is, we sinners go our own selfish way in life. We who are born into Adam’s sin, quickly give in to fear, worry, anger, bitterness, and other mind-altering experiences. On our own, we lack hope and a real purpose. Through many trials, God then over rules our hopeless existence. He lovingly forgives us and then puts hope and a new song in our hearts. The Psalms so beautifully direct and redirect us to God, who is our help and shield. We love Him more for who He is. As we love Him more, our Heavenly Father battles for us. God says to us. His special children:

“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,” Psalm 91:14–16.
