Psalm 91:1
Wycliffe Bible (WYC)
“He that dwelleth in the help of the highest God; shall dwell in the protection of God of heaven. (He who dwelleth in the shelter of the Most High God, shall live under the protection of the God of heaven.)”
Wycliffe Bible (WYC)
“He that dwelleth in the help of the highest God; shall dwell in the protection of God of heaven. (He who dwelleth in the shelter of the Most High God, shall live under the protection of the God of heaven.)”
Here are some other translations of the last part of this verse:
“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High…
“…will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”
“…shall remain stable and fixed .”
“…they will be camping in the Almighty’s shade…”
“… remains under the protection of the Almighty…”
“… resides in the protective shadow of the mighty king…”
“…shall remain stable and fixed .”
“…they will be camping in the Almighty’s shade…”
“… remains under the protection of the Almighty…”
“… resides in the protective shadow of the mighty king…”
I love the one that says we are camping in the Almighty’s shade. There is no place that I would rather be than dwelling in the shade and protection of the Almighty God! Under His wings we can trust and feel secure in Him.
We are living in a time in which we are hearing so much turmoil in our world. The world is being shaken like never before. The Lord Jesus spoke and proclaimed that in this world things are going to happen that will cause our hearts to fear and our world will feel shaky but He consoled His listeners with the fact that His peace would be with them. Today we can embrace that peace.
John 16:33 (AMP)
“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]
We can know and dwell in that place of knowing that NOTHING can separate us from the wonderful things that God has for us. Today I encourage you to dwell in that place of knowing who He is and who He said He would be to you. We share in a hope that no one can take from us. Let us rejoice in that!
