Psalm 91

I love Psalm 91 because it has promises of God’s protection and refuge in times of trouble. Verse 3 tells us that God will save us from pestilence and in verses 5- 8 tells us of His protection from attacks of the enemies.

However, there is a condition in order for us to come under His divine protection. Psalm 91:1-2 tells us that “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty”. Therefore, we see that the promises of God’s protection and refuge are only for those who “dwell in the secret place of the Most High”. How then do we “dwell in the secret place of the Most High God”? We know that there is no short cut.. and it’s only by spending time in the presence of God and remaining in His presence. Only then can we say that we are dwelling in the secret place of the Most High.

Question: We all need God’s protection daily but do we spend time in His presence and minister to Him? Do we make the Most High God our dwelling – not just in times of trouble.. but even when things are going well?

Verse 2 reads “I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; My God in Him will I trust”

Question: Can we trust God in every situation that we are going through? Throughout my spiritual journey, I have found that it has been easy for me to trust God when everything is going well with my life.. but it has been rather difficult for me to trust God during the times when I go through rough times.

Friends, I pray that you and I will meditate on this Psalm and allow Him to search our hearts today.
