#2. God’s Promise of Protection
The psalm goes on to say, “Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence” (Psalm 91:3). This verse is a promise that God will protect us from hidden traps, sickness, and harm. His care extends even to the things we may not see or understand, providing us with safety and comfort.
Application: Life can bring unexpected difficulties, but God’s Word assures us that He is always watching over us. This verse reminds us that God is aware of every danger, even those we may not perceive, and that He promises to be our shield and protector.
#3. Finding Refuge Under His Wings
Psalm 91:4 says, “He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.” The imagery of being covered with God’s wings paints a picture of a mother bird protecting her young, symbolizing God’s tender and loving protection over us.
Application: When life feels overwhelming, we can turn to God as our refuge. His “wings” are a place of comfort, safety, and warmth. For women, this verse offers a reminder of God’s nurturing care, encouraging us to trust Him completely as our protector and comforter.
#4. Freedom from Fear
One of the most beautiful aspects of Psalm 91 is the assurance that we need not live in fear. “Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day” (Psalm 91:5). In these words, God invites us to rest in Him, releasing our anxieties and embracing His peace.
Application: Fear can often feel overwhelming, especially when we’re concerned about our loved ones, our future, or the world around us. This verse is an invitation to release those fears to God, knowing that He is greater than any threat or danger. We can take comfort in knowing that God is with us both day and night, providing peace that surpasses all understanding.
#5. His Angels Watching Over Us
A favorite verse in Psalm 91 is verse 11: “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” This promise reveals that God commands His angels to watch over us, guiding us and protecting us wherever we go.
Application: Knowing that God’s angels are with us is a comforting assurance. We can pray that God’s angels will guard us, protect our families, and guide us in our daily paths. For women, this is a reminder that we are never alone—God’s divine protection surrounds us at all times.
“Let Psalm 91 remind you that God’s wings are your shelter, His promises your strength, and His presence your peace. No matter the storm, you are held and protected.”
#6. God’s Assurance of Rescue and Love
Psalm 91 ends with a beautiful message from God Himself: “Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name” (Psalm 91:14). God promises to rescue those who love Him, to lift them up, and to protect them in times of trouble.
Application: When we place our love and trust in God, we receive His promise of deliverance. For women, this verse is a reminder of the intimate relationship we can have with God. By loving Him and trusting in His name, we find assurance that He will rescue us and provide us with strength and hope.
