Psalm 91 - Our Hope and Comfort. Always.

 

Psalm 91New King James Version (NKJV)

Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God

91 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”

3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler[a]
And from the perilous pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12 In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”

Sharing Love From Sweden - "Under His Wings" (Psalm 91)

Stockholm, Sweden

UNDER HIS WINGS …

It is written in Ps.91 that you, as a Christian, are under God´s wings.

Ps.91: 4. "He shall cover you with His feathers".  It means that a symbol for God can be a bird. When you think about God´s greatness and about the refuge, think for instance about an albatross because they have very big feathers. You are under big feathers and under real protection. 

When you think that you are under His wings I do not just think about protection but that under His wings you are close to God. Would He not take care of you, His “bird-child”? It is natural under His wings then that He will take care of you! It means under His wings I think also that you are loved and you are not left alone! It is written that "surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler." In Ps.91.3 it means then that a human being can have a symbol of a bird, too. 

In  Ps.91:5 we can read “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night” and other things you do not have to be afraid of. It means that you are under Gods wings in the night when it is dark in the home. And the “Bird” lives where you live because in Ps. 23:6  we can read  “I will dwell in the house forever,” I think then about forever. It means that we dwell with God know too! He lives with us where we live.   

To deliver you from the snare of the fowler can means different things. For instance, that you as a Christian are saved  and delivered from the snare of the fowler! I think also that Jesus was delivered from the snare of the fowler when He rose from the death. I am thinking that the enemy thought he destroyed Jesus at the cross because he did not understood love and then he did not understand that Jesus was hanging there by free will for us and  rose from the dead!

Some animals are ready to give their lives for the children. I saw a bear one time on TV fighting for the cub, ready to give her life for it.

One time many years ago I happened to come to near a swan. I saw that the mother was very angry when you came close. I noticed that she had her chicks with her. She really did all she could do in protecting them!  Then I think about God. He really is very eager to do everything for us – like  a good shepherd's heart! A good shepherd is willing to give his life for the sheep and  is “feeding  the sheep.” The good shepherd takes care of the sheep and a  swan  protects and helps her offspring! 

  

In Ps.91 I think to be under God's wings can also be as under the wings of a hen. Under the wings you feel secure. When you understand the safety in being under the wings you get peace about things you worry about. I am under God's wings.. As if to be under the wings of an eagle or a swan.

The albatross has very big wings and I like to think about that when I think about that picture;  when I  think about being under God`s wings. God is like a shelter.  Jesus is a refuge. You are under Gods`s wings.

Also as a lamb you can feel safe, secure and calm in the arms of a shepherd who loves and carries it and takes care of it. God does that also about protection. Jesus is our salvation . It is salvation in His name and about protection. As a mother or father wants to protect their children, Gods wants to protect His children.

In Ps.91 it is written in verse 14 that "because He has set His love upon me, therefore I will deliver him.. In the name of Jesus is protection. In Isaiah 43:1-2 you can read that if we go through water and fire we will not be burned. If we go through difficulties we will not go under and if there is lot of water around us we will not drown or not die in any fire.

To be in our heavenly Daddy's arms is like to be like a child in the arms of a father who loves his child deeply. God is a God full of love and in Rom. 8.15 we can read that God has not given us a spirit of fear. We can feel safe in His love. He sent the most precious gift He had to us, His Son, so that we could be saved and find salvation is in His name, Jesus.

Blessings,

 CHILD OF GOD IN SECURE HANDS

To rest in Your arms

I cannot do it myself.

Like a baby in the arms of a parent

Take a deep breath and feel calm 

Knowing that He will take care of me.

I am in secure in His hands.

I cannot count how He will do it,

Just trust!

I cannot fall out of Daddy`s arms;

He will not let me fall.

My Daddy has a heart of gold.

There can be waves around me.

I can feel overwhelmed but

My Daddy takes care of me!

He is above the waves.
