How many of you deal with lions or adders (cobras), or dragons on a daily basis? This verse sounds like something for a Steven Spielberg film. Yet, in reality, we all do face these enemies every day. When we pick up our tools and start digging we unmask them and the way they operate. Thou … Continue reading Thou Shalt Tread Upon the Lion and Adder… Psalm 91:13

He Shall Give His Angels Charge Over You – Psalm 91:11
Angels are our guardians and God’s messengers. We interact with them every day, yet few of us see them. David knew from experience (2 Samuel 24) that God’s angels are mighty and they act on God’s word. (Psalm 103:20) In our world, angels are depicted as chubby cherubs, pin-up glamour girls in gossamer attire, or … Continue reading He Shall Give His Angels Charge Over You – Psalm 91:11
No Evil Shall Befall You, Nor Shall Any Plague Come Near Your Dwelling – Psalm 91:10
“No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.” Psalm 91:10 When people look at this verse they look at it in a literal sense. They say, “We will never have a burglary. No one in our family will ever get sick.” But there is something else going on here. … Continue reading No Evil Shall Befall You, Nor Shall Any Plague Come Near Your Dwelling – Psalm 91:10 Revised
Promises Made – Because – Psalm 91:9
Verse 9 of Psalm 91 begins with the word 'because.' This is the first of three uses of the word because in the verses that finish out this psalm. The first because is spoken by David. The last two will be spoken by God. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Here is the verse … Continue reading Promises Made – Because – Psalm 91:9
You Shall Not Be Afraid from the Destruction that Lays Waste at Noonday – Psalm 91:6b
I love this picture. Just as this gull is soaring in the heavens, we too are meant to soar above all the enemy's schemes without fear. This part of the verse shouts with praise to our God. "You shall not be afraid -- from the destruction that lays waste at noonday.” Psalm 91:6b Even though … Continue reading You Shall Not Be Afraid from the Destruction that Lays Waste at Noonday – Psalm 91:6b
You Shall Not Be Afraid of the Pestilence that Walks in Darkness Psalm 91:6a
Wow, here we go with the pestilence again -- twice in this psalm. They do get around and we are often caught unaware by their tactics. They pop out of nowhere and grab hold of our attention and our emotions. Once our ‘feelings’ are involved, it is more difficult to send them packing. Verses 5 … Continue reading You Shall Not Be Afraid of the Pestilence that Walks in Darkness Psalm 91:6a
Look Out for the Arrows that Fly by Day – Psalm 91:5b
I love the Amplified version of Psalm 91:5:You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day,Normally when Psalm 91 is read, it is directed to protection from physical attack, and while it definitely covers this, the real … Continue reading Look Out for the Arrows that Fly by Day – Psalm 91:5b
You Shall Not Be Afraid of the Terror By Night – Psalm 91:5a
Yanked out of sleep, I sat straight up in bed. I could hear wild howls coming from Shep, our Australian Shepherd. “What on earth is going on?” I mumbled so as not to wake the boys. Fumbling in the dark, I pulled the curtain back and peered out into the dark night. I glanced back … Continue reading You Shall Not Be Afraid of the Terror By Night – Psalm 91:5a
Under His Wings I Will Trust Psalm 91:4b
I can only remember one short period of riding a bus to school. Mostly, we walked. There were times when I dreaded it. What did we do with the books? You see backpacks weren't considered gear for students then. I think the reason I’m not any taller is because of the volumes I jostled and … Continue reading Under His Wings I Will Trust Psalm 91:4b
