Psalm 91 was written during a great crisis of Jewish people.
It was written during the 40 years they were living in the desert, nevertheless it isn’t known who wrote it.
But surely it was written by someone who saw the opening of Red Sea; who saw the cloud protecting them from the sun in the daylight; the fire column lighting the night; and the Manna being served daily.
The psalmist knew God closely, and he knew that God take cares of his people.
So, when we read Psalm 91, the pictures show us great dangers surrounding the people of God, (human and spiritual dangers), but the psalmist sees God, the Almighty, watching over his people. God protects his children like the hen and the eagle protect theirs with the feathers of their wings.
God moves the Heaven and gives orders to the angels to protect their children.
(The angels protect us, but only God gives them orders).Only God knows when it is necessary that a supernatural miracle happens.
For thousands of years after they arrived in Israel, this Psalm was sung by the Israelites in the Temple in Jerusalem. By this way they could remind God's protection in crisis. Even during the Roman Empire, they sung, and they left the temple confident, happy and ready to face any situation because God was their refuge like in the past.
Are you not feeling confident because the crisis?
If you are a true Christian you live in the hideout of the Most High, Jesus Christ, you can be sure that all the promises of this Psalm are yours.
In crisis, trust in God. He is the same God that was with Jewish people in the desert, in the temple in Jerusalem during Roman Empire, and He is with us today.
