How Psalms 91 can make a weak human powerful and give special guidance and protection from God?

 


Psalm 91 is a psalm of confidence that reminds us that God protects and preserves those who are His. Life will bring trouble and we will face danger, but as the people of God we can live above fear and trust that He will never let us fall (Romans 8:31-39).

In whatever troubles we face today, God is the place of refuge we can run to, He is our safe place.

The word “dwell” used in this verse actually means, “to take up permanent residence in.” He reminds us to stay in His presence, for it’s a permanent place of living. His Word says if we do that, we will “rest” in the very "shadow of the Almighty." Shadows by definition are a place of protection or covering, they provide relief from the direct heat of the sun. If the heat is severe, the shade is the place we run to. It diminishes what we actually feel in the intensity of the heat.

A reminder for us, especially in the tough stuff, that we never walk alone. Full heat of troubles bearing down hard, heavy, it’s a struggle at times to keep trudging through it all. Pressure and stress can seem as stifling as a hot afternoon summer sun. Yet God whispers truth, strong and sure, “Walk in my shadow, up close to my side.” It’s in the safe place that brings confidence; for when we are resting is God’s shadow, we will never face the full heat of our difficulties. He shelters from that pain. His shade, His shadow, diminishes what is actually felt in the intensity of all the heat. Rest, peace, and calm rise up strong, right in the struggling mess of life, and we’re assured, He's in control.

Sometimes, maybe unintentionally, in the busyness or difficulties of living, we might strive to survive on our own. We forget that what we need most, God's protection and the comfort of His presence, are freely available to those who love Him and walk under His covering.

This entire chapter of Psalm 91 is filled with the goodness and power of God. Great reminders that He faithfully works on behalf of those who love Him. And at the end of it all, God gives 8 reasons of why we do not have to fear.

Psalm 91's Promises from God

"I will rescue him..." (deliver, cause to escape)

"I will protect him..." (set him on a high place)

"I will answer him..." (respond to, speak)

"I will be with him in trouble..." (in afflictions, in distress)

"I will deliver him..." (rescue, to bring into safety)

"and honor him..." (to make rich, strong, heavy with honor)

"With long life will I satisfy him..." (to have abundance in the journey)

"and show him my salvation." (let him see my deliverance & victory)

There is great blessing as we seek after God, and choose to walk in His ways. In the midst of great darkness in this world, living in it all without His Truth and freedom, would be like wallowing in the pit. Not much hope to be found there. The truth is, this world has been dark for generations, since sin first entered the earth at the hiss of the enemy's lies.

Yet God's reminders are sure, strong, and true, assuring us that in all that we walk through in this journey, His call is always to rise above. He reminds us we're not alone. And though He never says that we won't face hard times, He does say He'll be with us in it, rescuing us, and shining His favor over us.

Don’t ever doubt it. God works on behalf of those who love Him and honor His name. He is so good to us. We may never fully know, this side of heaven, how very much He has sheltered us from in this life.

Closing:
It is all about dwelling in safety and security. When we are tired, afraid, or sad, we all want a place to go where we can find rest and peace. When we feel lonely, we need a shelter and we all need our safe places. We can take refuge in the presence of the Lord, knowing that nothing can separate us from God's love.

How do you declare Psalm 91?

PSALM 91 DECLARATIONS 1 I DECLARE THAT I WILL DWELL IN THE SHELTER OF THE MOST HIGH GOD! 2 I DECLARE THAT I WILL FIND REST IN THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY! 3 I DECLARE THAT GOD IS MY REFUGE AND MY FORTRESS! 4 I DECLARE THAT YOU ARE MY GOD, IN WHOM I TRUST AND WITH GREAT CONFIDENCE IN WHOM I WILL RELY!

In closing, I pray that the thoughts in this article will encourage you and give you new hope today. That they will help you face life wherever you are, in the midst of the difficult challenges around.

One thing is also certain and it is that death will come to all of us one day, with or without a virus! Isn’t it a great blessing to know that we have a Savior who has opened the portal to heaven and to His eternal life? Therefore, let no fear cloud your heart for nothing can “separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:39). And if maybe you have no assurance of eternal life right now, let me encourage you to open your heart to Jesus and invite Him as your Lord and Savior. He is reaching out to you now with His love.

And by the way, in eternity we will meet the person who wrote this beautiful Psalm under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit! We can maybe tell him then how much it comforted us in the midst of the unprecedented challenges mankind faced. God bless you.

How to Live your life inorder to be able to meet Jesus Christ in his second coming and to inherit the mansion which GOD has created in heaven?

  Psalm 90:12; Matthew 6:33 Intro:  There is an old saying that, " You are never too old to learn ." Here is one lesson that you're never too old to learn: " So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. ”( Psa. 90:12 ) Now, what that means is this: " Teach us to number our days and recognize how few they are; help us to spend them as we should. " Someone has observed that life is like a dollar bill. You can spend it any way you want to, but you can only spend it once. Now when you spend money there are really only one of two ways you can spend it. You can waste it, or you can invest it. The same thing is true with life. Now whether you are young or old, six or sixty, healthy and wealthy, or puny and poor, you can make the rest of your life the best of your life. Suppose you were starting life all over. You are old enough to know right from wrong. You are old enough to learn, old enough to love, old enough to really live. If y...
