Psalm 91 cont’d:
A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not approach you. You will only look on with
your eyes And see the recompense of the wicked. For you have made the Lord, my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place.
We are at war.
We live in a world where we war against things every day, like thoughts,
fear, worry, disease, loss, etc. But all
of those things that come at us cannot hinder or bruise our souls.
These verses are referring to those who choose
evil and not God’s ways. Those are the
ones who will fall, who will receive just recompense for their evil works. It’s a given that if we follow evil, we will
suffer death.
However, that fall, that reward of the wicked,
that devastation of loss and destruction will not even approach you when you
make the Lord your refuge – THE MOST HIGH – your dwelling place.
Remember back in the beginning of the chapter we
talked about what it means to dwell somewhere?
It means to stay, to take up residence.
Wavering in an out of God’s covering isn’t
peaceful. In fact, it’s downright
dangerous. But staying under the protection of his word brings about peace – a refuge. Even if…thousands are falling around us.
