He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust

Psalm 91:1-16

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.

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;

“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.”

In this psalm, the voice of confident trust and the voice of God speak encouragement and reassurance. Nothing can touch those God protects - neither people nor beasts, by day or by night; not war, nor disease. This is not to say life will be all roses or would have no meaning.

Why?

The confidence and trust in the Lord will be protected by the Lord. No fear no danger for God sends angels to protect me.

The important thing is dwelling in the shelter of the Most High.

To be a righteous man is to trust in Jesus Christ and obey the commands of the Lord and with love to everyone. Doing anything to honor the name of the Lord.

人如果回到神面前，必享受神一生的保守

稱呼神的四個方式：至高者、全能者、耶和華(與以色列人立約的， 神的不變性）、我的神：神是屬於我們，關係密切如家人。

捕鳥人的網羅：敵人的攻擊不知來自何方。

毒害的瘟疫：看不見的病毒，如covid-19

白日飛的箭，黑夜行的瘟疫：明槍暗箭，我們都不怕！

他們要用手托著你，免得你的腳碰在石頭上:神保護我們托住我，這是個人的保護，如我在新屋工地摔下來，卻沒有事！

專心愛我： 委身，在愛中與神連結。他知道我的名： 是神的啟示而知道，彼此甚為了解的關係。他若求告我，我就應允他：單純的依靠關係，無須委婉的說。
