In the face of the “fleeting and frequently challenging nature of human existence,” one fraught with difficulties, trials, temptations, war, pestilence, and injustice; the Psalmist says to seek refuge under God’s wings and one can be assured of protection and rest! To read the promise that no harm will overtake you because God will command His angels to protect you has brought much joy and comfort to many afflicted hearts! For some Christians however this psalm is not a source of comfort but of despair. For those Christians who put their faith in God and seek refuge under His wings and yet continue to experience unspeakable turmoil and tribulation, the promise of God’s protection at best provokes confusion and at worst is seen as cruel to raise one’s hope only to later dash one’s expectations. Did not God promise to “do good” and “give the desires of their hearts” to those who love Him” (Romans 8:28; Psalms 37:4))? Surely, He who is indivisibly present and knows our every thought (Psalms 139) would be more than willing to help His own, especially when they ask for relief from suffering in His name (John 14:13)? Since every word of the Bible was inspired by the Spirit of truth (2 Peter 1:21; John 16:13) then it cannot be the promise but our interpretation that is flawed! The following sermon is going to examine Psalms 91 so that we might rejoice and find comfort in the truth that God offers divine protection to any Christian who seeks shelter under His wings!
