Enjoy God's Protection. Palm 91 EP. 172


Listen Later

Welcome to another episode of our podcast.  Today, look into Psalm 91, often referred to as the Psalm of Protection. This psalm is brief, just 16 verses, but gives us assurance of God’s protection.  We won't be covering every single verse today, but we will explore the overarching theme of God’s protection.  This Psalm teaches us that peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of God. Philippians 4:6-7 speaks of a peace that surpasses all understanding, and this is the peace we seek as we dwell in His presence.

 

"Dwelling" is a key concept here.  It implies a

continuous, intentional, and deliberate choice to live in God's presence.  Hebrews 11:6 reminds us that God rewards those who diligently seek Him.  So, how do we
dwell in the shelter of the Most High?  Through prayer, meditation on His Word, obedience, and setting our minds on heavenly things.

As we navigate through this Psalm, remember that God's protection is not just a promise but a training ground for our faith.  When we feel our peace slipping away, it's a signal to return to the shelter of the Almighty.  Trust in Him completely, for He is our refuge and fortress.
