I love the Bible and I love birds, so this pair made for a happy scripture reading today! Psalm 91:4-6 gives us a beautiful picture, and maybe even course correction. GOD is our protector, our shield, the wing covering us, and keeping us safe. Our job isn't to fight off our fear or our dread. Our job is let God shelter us, cover us, love us as He already does. Listen for the full picture.

As we work through Psalm 91, we might find the 3rd verse especially challenging and confusing in the age of the Coronavirus. So, what do we make of a verse promising protection from deadly disease? How do we reconcile the world we see around us with this portion of scripture? Good news, it's not as hard as it might seem.  

Today's episode touches on contextualization, genre, assumptions/conclusions, and the Spirit's activity through scripture. All as we look at one verse. Pretty fun stuff!

Today, in our second video discussing Psalm 91, we take on verse 2.  This was originally shared on Facebook Live, but wanted to share here too. Follow, Like, Etc below. And don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to my podcast.  

In Psalm 91:2, we look at the idea of owning our faith in God. We look at active trust, relying on God, leaning into Him. There is a lot to explore in just one verse. The Bible is fun like that.

So which one is it? ESV, CSB, NIV, MSG, KJV, NLT or what? Is there actually a best one? Why are there so many in the first place, and how are they different? Is there value in a "new" translation?
