Psalm91, laced with some of the most graphic images in Scripture, begins with the sheltering wings of the eagle. Psalm91 is a song, or a poem if you will. As such, the language is filled with implications. So, what are some of the implications of the Psalm91 eagle? (He shall cover you with His feathers and under His wings you shall take refuge. Psalm91:4)Psalm91 Vision Eagles are known for their keen eyesight. Eagle vision is estimated to be at least four times more effective than the eyesight of a human with twenty-twenty vision. With eyes constructed to see straight ahead and out the side as well, the eagle misses little of what is occurring in its environment. Read more on Psalm91…

In these days of war and every conceivable violence, both man-made and nature wrought, most of us are looking for a safe harbor, some assurance of safety. Many believers turn to Psalm 91. They read it, recite it, pray and proclaim it. Soldiers carry it to war. Folks facing hair-raising danger stick copies of it in their pockets, tape it up in various places in their homes.

Keep Digging!
Psalm 91:15 He shall call upon me and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.
Early in Psalm 91 you find promises and conditions for those amazing promises of protection, like diamonds in a rich mine. In Psalm 91:14 the conditions are reviewed and additional blessings presented. Now we come to Psalm 91:15 to find four new promises, more diamonds. Four! Many folks don’t get this far in the Psalm. They hit information overload some time back.
The promises of Psalm 91 are pretty overwhelming and if you are really trying to take them in, it takes a while. You can only hold so much at one time. But, be like a prospector and do not give up your claim. You have come this far, so fasten your seat belt for some Scripture prospecting in Psalm 91:15. You will notice below that I have changed the pronoun and verb tense to make it apply to you, which, of course, it can. Read more on Psalm 91:15 – Four Promises…

Much has been written about Psalm91, some good, some not so inspiring. For the powerhouse of protective promises contained in this passage of Scripture, you would expect to find trainloads of fine articles. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
But guess what? I just found one that deserves to be saved and read often. The article is so good I wish I had written it
Actually, it’s inspiring me to work on my writing skills!
This Psalm91 article appears in The Spirit Filled Woman magazine and is entitled Being Secure in an Insecure World.
Winifred Morris, who wrote the article, kept me wrapped around her little finger to the very end. Psalm91 is such a call to intimacy with God, a call to come to know Him by His Name(s). This is a call to discovery, discovering who God is, a never-ending adventure…because who will ever plumb the depths of God? Read more on Psalm91…

Looking for a Soldier’s Prayer? You need look no further than Psalm 91. It has been the prayer of choice through many wars.
Soldiers Prayer Testimony 1:
This morning I read an article about Jimmy Stewart going to war with a copy of Psalm 91 that his dad sent him. Psalm 91 had been Dad’s Soldier’s Prayer in WWI and he assured “Jim Boy” that this Psalm prayer would keep fear and anxiety at bay while Jimmy did his soldiering. Stewart was to pray it daily and Dad would do the same. Stewart returned home, a Colonel in the Army Air Corps, having flown twenty missions. In regard to his Soldier’s Prayer, Jimmy said he carried all the men in his command in that prayer, lay them in the Lord’s hands for safe keeping.
Soldier’s Prayer Testimony 2:
Once while doing a CD singing at Berean Christian store in Bakersfield, I had an elderly woman approach the table. Her face was shining. ”Psalm 91, the Soldier’s Prayer!,” she exclaimed. Then she went on the tell how she had prayed Psalm 91 every day while her husband fought in Europe during WWII. ”Came home unharmed and all the men in his unit as well.” How many family members connected to that unit were praying the Soldier’s prayer too? We will never know. But what we do know…those of us who pray…is that praying this Scripture prayer is powerful stuff.
If you are going to pray, and apparently you are, then you want to pray as effectively as possible. Psalm 91 has become know as the Soldiers Prayer because of its effectiveness. Here is some explanation of that effectiveness. Read more on Soldier’s Prayer…

The last three verses of Psalm 91 are the most exciting to me. Yes, I know the vipers, plagues, arrows and angels make a great movie set, but the real gold is in the these last three lines and you don’t want to miss a flake of it. Let’s take a look at Psalm 91:14 probably in a different approach than you’ve used before.
Psalm 91:14 Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will deliver him: I will set him on high because he has known my Name.
In these last three verses of Psalm 91 the Lord is summing up the promises and conditions of the previous verses of Psalm 91. Conditions are highlighted here is Verse 14 because they are critical to receiving the blessings referenced in the next two verses. Read more on Psalm 91:14 – The Lord Has His Say…

The problem with sermons is that you have to come up with at least one every week. Some weeks are so filled with ministry there is precious little time to develop a sermon you feel good about. So now you need to put together a sermon or teaching on Psalm 91. What are you going to do about it?
Psalm 91 Sermon: Take These Steps:
- First of all: pray! God has even more interest in your communicating Kingdom wisdom than you do. So prayer is the first avenue to take.

Promises and blessings of Psalm 91 all hinge on the first two verses: Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of th Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.The term dwell indicates and abiding, an arriving and staying in a particular place or relationship. Dwell is the key. Relationship is the requirement.
While the amazing promised protection found in Psalm 91 seems too good to be true, it is just a description of what life looks like when one opts to dwell with God in a close and personal relationship. Outstanding personages of the Old Testament give us clear instances of relationship with God: Read more on Psalm 91: The Protected Life of a Dweller…
