This Psalm
deals with rest in and through the Messiah. This Psalm was probably written by
Moses.
Psalm
91:1-16
91:1 THE ALMIGHTY H 7706; the giver of grace. The word
“abide” and mansion (John 14:2) are similar. We can find peace and rest in Him
now!
91:2 The “I” here is Messiah speaking. This is also referencing
those that follow God. The people who left Egypt perished in the wilderness for
not trusting THE LORD.
91:3 “fowler” is a person who sets traps for birds. Satan
sets many traps for the children of God; don’t let him catch you!
91:4 Do you know His word? We are to put on the gospel armor
(Ephesian 6). Our Father is like a mighty eagle that protects His young (Deut
32:11).
91:5-6 when we are in our Fathers word we have no fear of the
traps Satan will set because we know the lies and deceit he brings. We need not
fear the death angel.
91:7-8 these shall fall by deception because they are
unfamiliar with the lies of Satan or the word of God (compare: Rev 13:8). The wicked
do not get ahead; their reward is the lake of fire. Don’t be deceived!
91:9-10 if you dwell with the Lord and get into His word then
there is no way we can be deceived. We have nothing to fear.
91:11-12 this is the scripture Satan attempted to trick Jesus
in Matthew 4:6. Satan switched the verse up and did not quote it correctly; we
know the subtleties Satan uses. Matthew 18:10 says Gods children have an angel
watching us that has the face of God at any time needed. Satan will be coming
back quoting scripture and hit you in your vulnerable areas; if you don’t know the
differences then you will be deceived!
91:13 these are names for Satan (compare: Luke 10:18-19). This
is written to Messiah and His followers.
91:14 this is God speaking of Christ. Do we know our Fathers
name and word?
91:15 this is God speaking of His Son.
91:16 we are rewarded with eternal life.
