Psalms 91:9

Psalms 91:9 says, Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;  Those who make the LORD their refuge, the place where they put their faith and trust, will always be safe.  As followers of Christ, we must live by faith each moment, and not periodically during the week.  Verse ten adds, There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.  Matthew Henry says that even though trouble and affliction may befall those who put their trust in God, no real evil will.  We are freed from the power of sin and Satan spiritually by the love and mercy of God.  Verse eleven states, For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.  The psalmist says that we have God's angels to protect us, so all we have to do is keep our faith in God.  We are told that the angels will keep us in all our ways, or be with us in good times as well as bad.  Verse twelve adds, They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.  The angels will keep us from any spiritual harm I believe, even if we do suffer physically at times.  Verse thirteen continues, Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.  Matthew Henry says these are all references to Satan, and by our faith in Jesus Christ he has been trampled underfoot.  Nothing in this world can separate us from God as long as we put our faith in Jesus Christ.  Verse fourteen declares, Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.  We are told that we are set on high and protected by God and His angels if we have put our faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.  Once more, I don't believe that this means that nothing bad can ever happen to us physically or materially, but that nothing can harm us spiritually as long as we remain faithful to God.  Verse fifteen adds, He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.  As this states, if we are Christians and remain faithful to God, He will always hear us always hear us and deliver us in times of trouble.  As a matter of fact, Jesus Christ has already delivered us from the power of sin and given us everlasting life with God if we accept Him as our Savior and Lord, so the trouble we have in this lifetime will always be temporary.  Verse sixteen continues, With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.  We as followers of Christ have been given everlasting life, through the salvation provided by Jesus Christ, no matter how long or short our life here on earth may be.
