Psalm 91 is a short poem of comfort written millennia ago, and it makes great boasts.

For generations, it has comforted a nation: in letters passed down to children, as a mantra for soldiers going off to war, and as a lullaby sung on many dark nights.

There’s no magic power in the words, but there’s might behind them. This Psalm was breathed out by the Spirit of God, pledging promises of protection to his children. They’re powerful words because their keeper is the Almighty. They’re strong words from a strong God.

The Psalm begins with,

"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty" (Psalm 91:1 NIV).

Quite a privilege. Quite the promise. The only catch is, it’s personal. This poem belongs to someone; not everyone. This Psalm rehearses the precious promises of protection from the Most High God to those who belong to him. The next verse follows,

"I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust'" (Psalm 91:2 NIV).

Do you see the level of intimacy here? My refuge. My fortress. My God, in whom I trust.

Can you say with the Psalmist, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust?” Do you find yourself under the shadow of the Almighty?
