A refuge is a place where we seek safety, a place we can call home when we are forced to leave our own homes behind. We see refugees coming from various parts of the world into this country because they can no longer remain in their homeland for many different reasons. Whenever we find ourselves searching for a place that we can truly call home, God becomes our refuge. We also talked about God being our shelter. Moses calls Him his shelter during the stormy blasts of life and from the intense heat that he experienced while livi...

Our Dwelling Place

Therefore, we know from the title that it was written by Moses. Some historians suggest that Moses may not have been the actual author, but that early scholars attributed it to him. We do not know the complete history behind it, but the title presents it as a prayer of Moses. This was likely written during the closing years of Moses' life, when he was about 120 years old and nearing the end of the ministry God had given him. He had been called to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt and through the wilderness. By this time, they had reached the Jordan River, looking across into the Promised Land. However...

Our Refuge

It is a psalm of comfort. Some people even call it "911 for the believer." Whenever life becomes overwhelming, many Christians, like they do with Psalm 23, find themselves returning to Psalm 91 for reassurance and hope. Last Sunday we reflected on God as our shelter. We sang about Him being our shelter from the stormy blast, and we considered how He shelters us from the storms and scorching heat of life. In every season of hardship, we find our safety in God. He alone is the shelter that protects us when life's storms threaten to overwhelm us. The second part of Psalm 91 presents ano...

Our Shelter

Many of us turn to this psalm repeatedly during seasons of grief, sickness, uncertainty, or personal struggle. It is a passage that brings peace to anxious hearts and hope to weary souls. Some people even call it the "911 Psalm." When we are in distress, we dial 911 for help. For Christians, Psalm 91 is the spiritual 911 we turn to when life overwhelms us. The psalm begins with these beautiful words:  "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty." (Psalm 91:1) What a wonderful promise! Right from the beginning, the psalmist reminds us that true rest is found in the pr...
