Their lives were full of suffering and trials at the same time that they also had clear guidance and help of God. Those who know their Bible well realize that if Psalm 91 was meant as a divine unchangeable promise like that, not only is it silent about that, but Bible heroes like David and Paul sure were ignorant of it, too. The fact is that the Bible shows God lets the saints have some pretty catastrophic things happen to them. So.who are they and what did they miss or do wrong? In this study, get those answers and the one requirement for salvation Jesus taught (that Christianity misses) so that you can make sure you don't hear these dreaded words yourself! Jesus predicted that he will tell many sincere believers to basically "get lost" instead of welcoming them into the Kingdom. "Depart From Me, I Never Knew you!" - Jesus To turn Psalm 91's verses into promises you must ignore that context.) (By the way, do you see the clear general-promise-to-all language in these verses? If you read Psalm 91 carefully you won't find anything like that. Psalm 34:19 - Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.Īcts 14:22 - Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
John 16:33 - “In this life you shall have tribulation” - (Jesus) In fact, many Christians end up losing their faith because they trusted in Psalm 91 and other so-called "promises of God in the Bible" because other (actual) promises of the Bible happened to them instead. Christians don't universally get "long life" or freedom from attacks or accidents. I would bet you don't even have to look further than own family history for sad examples. No matter how many positive testimonies of Psalm 91 protection there may be, you can find plenty more examples of Christians who have had tragedy touch their lives. I don't wish to be a downer or buzzkill by taking away any comforting belief you need to hold onto.) (If you are a big believer in the "Psalm 91 protection covenant," you may want to skip the rest of this section to avoid hearing my reasons why I don't view Psalm 91 as you do. Especially when someone steps back from this fantasy view (which I admit we'd all love to be true) and look at it objectively and sensibly. Just please understand that this view does not work for everyone. It's OK with me if you or others read Psalm 91 allegorically and find comfort in that. Really, it's not surprising if you remember how many people believed in "the blessing power of praying 1 Chronicles 4:10" when the Prayer of Jabez book came out full of anecdotal evidence in support of it. Many people believe in Psalm 91 like this. If this is the first time you've heard this, it probably sounds exaggerated or only a fringe belief. The premise is you just need to "join the covenant" by loving and serving God and all the threats listed in Psalm 91 will be neutralized. It's practically a cottage industry, like Chicken Soup for the Soul.
Psalm 91 for children one for mothers another for military others for youth and for kids.

Mom's pray Psalm 91 daily over their children serving in the military or working in dangerous professions like law enforcement or firefighting. Christians read it as a book of promises of protection for them today.įor this reason Psalm 91 is known as the "soldier's psalm." Military men often bring a wallet-sized copy of Psalm 91 during their deployment. That's really the key to why this psalm is so popular. It seems to almost offer this very protection to anyone who decides to "dwell" close to the Almighty.
It describes some very desirable protection given to those God says he knows intimately. It's obvious why Christians like it so much.
10 no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. 7 Though 1,000 fall at your side and 10,000 at your right hand, the pestilence will not reach you.
