“[The LORD Is My Fortress] I live under the protection of God Most High and stay in the shadow of God All-Powerful.”
We must grasp this down deep. He shelters us in a place that no one can reach. He is a rock of a fortress, and evil will never penetrate him. Our position is wonderful, and we rejoice in it, and yet a shield has been put into place that will never waver. We are the “apple of his eye” and we stand very much protected.
The entirety of Psalm 91 is a confidence builder. But it does so without us grasping truths that are vague or confusing. It is a Psalm that states reality, without any anesthesia. When we truly read it, the natural tendency is to be overwhelmed or confused by it. But that isn’t its real purpose. It is there to communicate “security” in every perspective of life. I am “safe” and nothing will ever change that.
As we shelter ourselves into his presence, we will end up drawing his “life” directly into our life. Our blood now flows with his. Our life, has been transfused or mixed with his. He has gone the extra mile to make us one with him. We are “blood brothers.”
Try as you may, you will not ever shake yourself free of this. If you truly believe in Him, he goes ahead and puts his mark or seal on you. At this point, you might as well surrender. You have become his, and he will most definitely take control.
Psalm 91 points out so many issues. Reading it, we find it takes us to a place where we trust him far beyond anything else. He begins to comfort us, He soothes us into the very place, that we start bringing a grace that is quite exceptional.
