your side stand firm in that confidence no matter what verses 7 to 8. says a thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand but it shall not come near you only with your eyes shall you look and see the reward of the Wicked This is reminding us that God Faithfully protects those who love him even in midst of judgment our relationship with Christ ensures we are covered cling close

it all together let us unlock the benefits of Psalm 91 what does Psalm 91 really offer I will discuss five powerful Promises of this Psalm number one it promises Divine shelter notice that psalm 91.
opens with these profound words he who dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the almighty what a beautiful promise for our weary souls for those with heavy hearts the shelter of God Almighty provides not only physical protection from danger but also mental and spiritual Refuge from fear and worry so no matter what storms may come God offers himself as a safe hiding place in our modern world we often grapple with economic uncertainty with many false realities in mainstream and social media with political divisions Public Health crises and so much more as a result of all this the need for shelter and refuge is as crucial as ever but the promises of Psalm 91 remain constant if we abide under the wings of our Lord he promises to cover us with his feathers and under his wings we will find Refuge his faithfulness is our shield and buckler when we dwell in the most high we can declare with confidence that God Alone is our refuge our Fortress Our God in whom we trust sheltered safely in his presence we need not fear the Terrors of the night or the arrows that fly by Day verse 9 reiterates God's Sheltering presence because you have made the Lord your Dwelling Place the most high who is my refuge verse 4 also assures us that under his wings we will find Refuge then verse 10 expands on this thought no harm will overtake you no disaster will come near your tent this is a remarkable promise Supernatural protection and safety for those abiding close to the Lord number two it offers us the ultimate Shield against fear our world today is marked by fear and anxiety over many things including our future our health finances relationships and Public Safety just to name a few but Psalm 91 addresses these fears that can dominate our thoughts verse 3. promises that God will Deliver Us From The Deadly pestilence and plague in addition to physical illness we could also apply this verse symbolically God can Deliver Us from contagious and harmful thoughts or emotions further on verse 5 also Echoes This Promise of protection from the terror by night nor of the arrow that flies by day nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness so God is our ultimate Shield against everything that seeks to instill worrying and fear verse 6 expands on this theme of protection stating the plague will not come near our dwelling offering safety even in the midst of widespread chaos while the sources of our anxiety and stress may be different than in ancient times God's power to protect his children remains unchanged number three it offers Angelic guardianship psalm 91. verses 11 to 12.
paints a beautiful picture of God commanding his angels concerning us to guard Us in all our ways and bear us up in their hands lest we strike our feet against a stone those who take refuge in the Lord have Heavenly protectors attending their every step intervening supernaturally though we may not visibly see their work Believers can take great encouragement but powerful Angelic beings are on assignment to provide guidance protection and rescue us from harm when we feel uncertain of the path ahead we can call upon God to allow these Guardians to light our way and clear obstacles that would cause us to falter in our faith number four it promises triumph over trials Psalm 91 also uses symbolic language to describe the power that God gives his children to overcome hardship verse 13 declares you shall tread upon the lion and the cobra the Young Lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot therefore you need to start declaring that the enemy is under your feet because he is and he knows that it's just for you to know also and to act accordingly for modern Believers our lions and serpents likely take different forms such as an abusive relationship addiction discrimination depression or religious persecution among others but through faith in God's unfailing protection we can have the courage to face these challenges refusing to give in when faced with adversity by relying on the strength of the Almighty we can Crush these obstacles beneath our feet and number five it offers the power of relationship now listen to this while Psalm 91 makes magnificent promises the psalm itself clarifies that its Provisions are not unconditional two prerequisites for resting in God's Refuge are mentioned its promises are for those who know his name as mentioned in verse 14. and those who love him which is also mentioned in verse 14. so a personal relationship with God is essential to unlocking the power of Psalm 91 its promises are not for everyone yet everyone has an equal opportunity to be able to gain access to the benefits of these promises so amidst the many messages out there proclaiming the power of Psalm 91.
as if it is generally for everyone we must discern the truth this Psalm is indeed a potent passage but it specifically promises protection to those who truly know and love God Understanding God's name means really getting to know who he is on a deep level just knowing that God exists isn't enough we have to get close to him and truly learn about him loving God isn't just doing things for him it's truly honoring and pleasing him in All We Do when we both know and love him that's when we can truly unlock the full power of abiding in his shelter that's when we can unlock the power of Psalm 91 so if you're listening and you've never accepted Jesus Christ as your lord and savior if you haven't yet come to know and love God deeply don't worry the journey to a close relationship with him is open to everyone salvation has come to you and you can accept Jesus today watch until the end and I will pray a special salvation prayer with you so what is the practical application of all this how can we apply Psalm 91 to our lives firstly make it a part of your daily Refuge followers of Christ should make Psalm 91 a part of their daily spiritual meditation reading reciting or meditating on these magnificent promises sets our minds on his protection amidst the day's uncertainties ending each day reflecting on these divine assurances also allows peace and comfort to carry us into rest let this Psalm soak deep into your soul write its verses on your sticky notes stuck to your mirrors doors desk or anywhere that will keep your eyes fixed on the words throughout your daily routine there is no better way to claim The psalm's Refuge than by constantly renewing our minds with its truths Romans 10 verse 7 reminds us so then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God secondly by answering the call to trust trust is an act of the will a deliberate dependence on God's faithfulness despite our feelings or circumstances when faced with uncertainty anxiety tries to shrink our perception of God but you can combat fear with radical trust choose daily to believe his promises over your perceptions recall past situations where he protected and delivered you take refuge under his wings until confidence in his care becomes bigger than your worry thirdly by embracing Angelic help begin acknowledging out loud when Divine guidance and protection show up in your life when a coincidence redirects you from danger or a call or text arrives just when you need encouragement begin to recognize it as a possible Angelic intervention set your mind to spot the Angels God promised to dispatch around your path use your spiritual eyes and senses to sense their presence you may never physically see these Guardians but their handiwork is all around for those with eyes to see it and lastly by the Assurance of answered prayer you should bring psalm 91. boldly before God's throne of grace in prayer pray its verses out loud as Declarations of Faith over your mind body family and circumstances allow each promise to fuel your requests then watch expectantly for these prayers to be answered knowing Heaven is mobilized on your behalf write down and share testimonies of God's protection with others before you know it you will have lots of testimonies to share so Psalm 91 and just 16 verses forms a powerful declaration of radical Reliance Upon Our loving creator its promises reveal that despite the ever-changing threats we face The Refuge of dwelling close to God's heart remains constant nothing can shake his resolve to protect those who take shelter under his wings May the words of this Psalm settle deeply into our hearts reminding us daily of God's faithfulness unwavering love and protection as we claim its promises each morning or each day may it be a reminder to us to find Refuge under God's Wings let's not just read it let's live it finding in it the protection peace and purpose that our souls so deeply desire now to all those within the sound of my voice let us go to the Lord in prayer I want you to pray this prayer with me so that you can have all the blessings of this prayer let us pray to our gracious Lord Heavenly Father creator of heaven and earth I praise you and I give you all the glory for you are my shield and Buckler you are my Hiding Place and secret place dear Lord father I come before you today with a heart full of gratitude believing in the promises of Psalm 91.
