Psalm 91

ETS:  The psalmist described in great detail his dependence on and confidence in God.

ESS:  When the world around us seems insecure and uncertain, we can turn to God to find security.

PQ:    How does the Psalmist describe our security in God?

UW:   ANGLES

1. Our first angle will be to consider the circumstances which the Psalmist described as threatening.
1. The snare of the fowler (v. 3) – a trap
2. Pestilence (v. 3, 5, 6, 10) – plague
3. Accidents (v. 12)
4. Deadly attacks (v. 13) – lion, snake
5. Uncertainty, dread (v. 5) terror of the night

1. Next, let’s come at this from the angle of the ways in which God indicates He will  provide for our security.
1. He provides a shelter and place of refuge (v. 4).
2. He will provide a shield and place of defense (v. 4).
3. He will send His angels to intervene on our behalf (v. 11).
4. He gives us the ability to call on Him in our time of need (v. 15).

1. Finally, we need to consider the key elements to entering into this security.  
1. The first way we find security in God is by making our declaration or confession of faith in Him (v. 1-2).
2. We find security in God when we make him our dwelling place (v. 9).
3. We find security in God when we hold fast to Him and call on His name (v. 15).
