Transcript

As you listen to this psalm,

Relax in your seat,

Close your eyes,

And hear God speak to you.

I'll read the passage two times,

And each time allow you to reflect on what you've heard.

Psalms 91 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord,

He is my refuge and my fortress,

My God in whom I trust.

Surely He will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with His feathers,

And under His wings you will find refuge.

His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

You will not fear the terror of night,

Nor the arrow that flies by day,

Nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

Nor the plague that destroys at midday.

A thousand may fall at your side,

Ten thousand at your right hand,

But it will not come near you.

You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

If you say,

The Lord is my refuge,

And you make the Most High your dwelling,

No harm will overtake you.

No disaster will come near your tent,

For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

They will lift you up in their hands,

So that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

You will tread on the lion and the cobra.

You will trample the great lion and the serpent.

Because He loves me,

Says the Lord,

I will rescue Him.

I will protect Him,

For He acknowledges my name.

He will call on me,

And I will answer Him.

I will be with Him in trouble.

I will deliver Him and honor Him.

With long life,

I will satisfy Him and show Him my salvation.

What stood out to you most?

What words spoke to your heart and to your situation in this moment?

Listen again as I read Psalms 91.

And from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with His feathers,

And under His wings you will find refuge.

His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

You will not fear the terror of night,

Nor the arrow that flies by day,

Nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

Nor the plague that destroys at midday.

A thousand may fall at your side,

Ten thousand at your right hand,

But it will not come near you.

You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

If you say,

The Lord is my refuge,

And you make the most high your dwelling,

No harm will overtake you,

No disaster will come near your tent,

For He will command His angels concerning you,

To guard you in all your ways.

They will lift you up in their hands,

So that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

You will tread on the line and the cobra.

You will trample the great line and the serpent.

Because He loves me,

Says the Lord,

I will rescue Him.

I will protect Him,

For He acknowledges my name.

He will call on me,

And I will answer Him.

I will be with Him in trouble.

I will deliver Him and honor Him.

With long life,

I will satisfy Him and show Him my salvation.

Did anything else grab your attention,

Call to your soul,

Or ease your mind?

As you go throughout the day today,

Keep that calling in your mind.

Hold it in your spirit,

And allow it to comfort you.

Have a blessed day.
