Most everyone who reads my blogs are familiar with Psalm 91. It is considered to be a Psalm of protection and of thanksgiving. Many read Psalm 91 in their times of trouble because it promises divine protection. It tells us that those who live under the protection of the Most High will dwell in the shadow of the Almighty and be covered by God’s feathers. What a wonderful and peaceful promise. It gives us the calmness of our God in heaven and takes away the fear and anxiety our troubles can give us. It does not matter the size of our problems or the amount of fear that attacks us, our Almighty God promises his presence and his strength in our lives. To walk in his shadow allows us to understand that he is right beside us. When covered by his feathers we are protected from the elements the world throws at us.
Psalm 91 also provides a message of confidence in God, even when times are not good. It tells us that we should let our faith in God be the lens through which we view the world, rather than letting the world tell us how we are to determine our ways and thoughts. When we begin to look at things through God’s eyes we see things in a completely different light. We see things with more clarity and understanding. We begin to gain confidence that our Lord God will never leave us nor forsake us, but instead, he will always understand our desires, fears, troubles and doubts in life. We understand that he will lift us high above the things of this world and help us to realize that his protection is not only dependable but is fearless and unbeatable. I highly recommend that everyone take time to read Psalm 91 if you haven’t already. I would also encourage you to read the Psalm daily so that you may be refreshed with His Spirit and His very existence, which in return will help to guide you through your busy day. The promises of Psalm 91 are the magnificent work by our God who has rolled all of these promises up in a nice bundle for each of us to be take advantage of. Let us not miss our opportunity! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
