Psalm 91 cont’d: For
it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with His pinions,
and under His wings you may seek refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.
This entire chapter uses such
cool words of protection, and these two verse are full: delivers, cover you,
under his wings, refuge, faithfulness, shield, bulwark.
Did you know that we all get “trapped” and we all suffer “pestilence?” In fact, because our bodies are flesh we are
susceptible to death. However, we know
that he has already delivered us from that biggest trap of all!
But while here on this earth, we have his promise to be covered
with his pinions. Pinions are the outer part of a bird’s wings, including the
flight feathers. So that means, even
when God is on the move, we’re right there underneath his wings, being protected and
carried to awesome places.
A bulwark is an extension of a ship’s wall above the level of the
deck, and we know what a shield is. When we
are in a storm, he is our safe place, he is faithful, and he protects us from
the threatening waters that make us afraid.
We serve a God that is SO creative in the ways that he protects
and cares for us that there is no place we can go where he is not there with
us.
Find comfort in that truth, today.
