Under His Wings

By Pastor Calvin Lee

Psalm 91
Under His wings

Few points to be noted in this chapter :
Point 1 : A resounding confession
v1, v2

SHELTER of all shelters :

Most High
- He is over and above all things! Above and over every power and all authority

Almighty (El Shaddai)
- He is the great provider!

Lord (Yehweh)
- He is a covenant keeping God!

My God (Elohim)
- He is an infinite creator God!

Dwell :
Learn to live in, abide in the presence of God. Make Him the shelter of our lives. Other shelters can be torn down, destroyed. But our trust is in an unchanging great I am, unshakable God.

Point 2 : A restful confidence
v3 - v16

v4 He will cover you
(like a hen covering her young, like a shield in an armour)
- God's protection is extensive (it covers more than one expects)
- God's protection is extraordinary (it possesses a supernatural element)
@ pestilence, fowler snare, plague, terror of night, arrows

Psalm 91 has 8 divine promises for you to claim :
(1) I will save you
(2) i will Cover you
(3) God Command angels to protect you
(4) I will Rescue you
(5) I will Protect you
(6) I will Answer you
(7) I will Deliver you
(8) I will Satisfy you

2 important points in psalm 91 :
(1) This psalm did not say as believers we will not fall sick, we will not face problem or problem free in this life. Sometimes we face situation which we Do not understand but we continue to believe God's divine presence in all our trials

(2) Those who seek to draw close to God, this psalm is for them to claim

Point 3 : A resilient commitment
v14-15
(a) Someone who Loves God
(b) someone who Acknowledge God
(c) someone who Calls on the name of God

The most important thing about faith is not its Amount, but it's the Author
