Psalm 91:1, 2 - Four Pictures of God.

Psalm 91:1, 2 (NLT) Those who live in the 
shelter of the Most High will find rest in the 
shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the 
Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; 
he is my God, and I trust him. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Just as there are different words we use 
to describe people, such as father, friend, 
wife, or son, the Bible uses different words to 
describe God, giving us a glimpse into His nature and 
character. 
   We find an example of this in Psalm 91, 
where the writer presents four different pictures 
of God. 
   The psalm begins, Those who live in 
the shelter of the Most High will find rest in 
the shadow of the Almighty (verse 1 NLT). The 
name the Most High comes from the Hebrew 
word Elyon, which speaks of God as the One who 
possesses everything. It reminds us that God owns it 
all. 
   The next name, Almighty, or Shaddai 
in Hebrew, speaks of provision. Its 
wonderful to know that God owns everything, but its 
also wonderful to know that He wants to provide 
for us. Hes not only the living God but also 
the giving God. 
   Then we come to verse 2, which says, 
This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my 
refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I 
trust him (NLT). Lord comes from a Hebrew 
word that has been translated Yahweh or 
Jehovah in English. Its the word God gave to His 
own people, the Jews, in speaking of the 
covenant He established with them. 
   Also in verse 2 is the term my God, 
which originates from Elohim and means more 
than one. There are not three Gods, but there 
are three members of the Trinity: The Father, 
the Son and the Holy Spirit. 
   To put it all together, we see that the 
all-knowing, all-powerful God who possesses Heaven and 
Earth is in a special covenant with us and wants 
to protect us and provide for our needs. So 
before we even get into the promises contained in 
this great passage, the psalmist gives us great 
confidence in God. [Greg Laurie from Harvest
