Title: Finding Refuge in God: Unpacking Psalm 91.

-


Psalm 91, known as the "Psalm of Protection," offers a powerful message of divine safeguarding and comfort. Let's explore its key spiritual themes and meanings:
1. Divine Protection and Refuge
God is our refuge and fortress, providing rest and security to those who dwell in His presence (Psalm 91:1-2). This imagery evokes a deep sense of peace and trust.
2. Trust and Faith
Trust in God is paramount, as He delivers us from dangers, diseases, and hidden traps (Psalm 91:3-4). Metaphors like God's feathers and wings illustrate His protective care.
3. Spiritual Warfare
Psalm 91 addresses spiritual warfare, safeguarding believers from physical and spiritual threats (Psalm 91:5-6). God's protection encompasses both day and night.
4. Angelic Assistance
God commands His angels to guard believers, lifting them up and protecting them from harm (Psalm 91:11-12). This highlights divine intervention through angelic beings.
5. Promises of Deliverance and Salvation
The psalm concludes with God's promises to those who love and acknowledge Him: rescue, protection, honour, long life, and salvation (Psalm 91:14-16).
A Call to Faith
Psalm 91 reminds us that a deep, trusting relationship with God brings peace and security. In times of trouble, seek refuge in Him. I encourage you to:
- Surrender your life to Christ as Lord and Saviour.
- Experience God's goodness and benefits, as promised in Psalm 91.
- Taste and enjoy His divine protection and love.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded.
