The prayer of the promises of protection
Psalm 91:1(VOICE) He who takes refuge in the shelter of the Most High will be safe in the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 91:1(NKJV) He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
The word dwell used in this verse means, ‘to take up permanent residence in’. He reminds us to stay in His presence, for it’s a permanent place of living. The Word says if we do that, we will rest in the very shadow of the Almighty. Shadows 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.
This entire chapter of Psalm 91 is filled with the goodness and power of God.
God promises, Psalm 91:14-16(VOICE) “Because he clings to Me in love, I will rescue him from harm; I will set him above danger. Because he has known Me by name, He will call on Me, and I will answer. I’ll be with him through hard times; I’ll rescue him and grant him honor. I’ll reward him with many good years on this earth and let him witness My salvation.”
Within the verses of Psalm 91, we find a powerful invitation to trust in God wholeheartedly. It reminds us that our faith is not passive but rather an active response to God’s promises.
Reading and meditating on Psalm 91 daily can be a great source of inner peace, strength, and protection in the face of adversity. It reminds us of the absolute might and providence of God over all might and power in the world.
