In the reading of the 91st division of the Book of Psalms, the Psalmist expresses the security of those who trust fully in God. It assures us that God will be our refuge and that we may seek His protection in times of spiritual and physical danger.
He shall give His Angels charge over thee: God commissions angels to watch carefully over the lives and interests of the faithful. Nothing can happen to a faithful servant except by God's permission (remember God's faithful servant Job). There are times when the question arises; "Why do good things happen to good people?" There is no shadow nor turning that God does not already know about. The more fully we abide in Christ and His Word, we can trust in the "Almighty" as He emphasizes His power to confront and destroy every enemy.
1. “Most High” shows Him to be greater than any threat we face.
2. “Almighty” emphasizes His power to confront and destroy every enemy.
3. “The LORD” assures us that His presence is always with us; And
4. “My God” expresses the truth that God has chosen to associate intimately with those who trust in Him.
