Text : Psalm 91:1-16
Author : Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation :
From time immemorial, the security of lives and properties has often been under threat. Even in Scripture, Ezra sought the face of God for protection as he embarked on a long journey carrying precious treasures, trusting not in human guards but in divine covering (Ezra 8:21–23). This shows that true security ultimately comes from God.
In our world today, individuals, families, communities, and nations continually face various forms of insecurity. Despite the presence of trained security personnel and systems, human efforts alone cannot guarantee absolute safety. This is why Scripture points us to God as our refuge and fortress, the One in whom we can place total confidence (Psalm 27:1).
Like Elisha’s servant, fear can arise when we see threats surrounding us. But when his eyes were opened, he saw that the hosts of heaven were far greater than the visible enemy (2 Kings 6:15–17). In the same way, God’s protection around His people is far stronger than any danger confronting them, even when it is not visible to the natural eye.
Psalm 91 assures us of divine covering, preservation, and deliverance from every form of danger. As we dwell in God’s presence and trust in Him, we activate His protection over our lives. Our confidence must not be in fear but in the assurance that God is able to keep us and deliver us from all evil (Psalm 91:2; 2 Thessalonians 3:3).
Prayer Nugget : Father, we thank You for being our refuge, fortress, and ever-present help in times of trouble, in Jesus’ name.
