Psalm 91 is not only a great Psalm but also the place the Lord has for His people and desires that we dwell within the truths presented in this Psalm.
Psa 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Psa 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

There are no shortage of things going on around us today that can cause our hearts to be troubled. And if we believe the Bible, the Word of God which i trust you do, we know from Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 17 & 21 and many other portions of Scripture that the worst is yet to come.
In order to experience the calm after the storm, you have to go through the storm first. The wonderful thing is that for the follower of Jesus Christ, we can experience and live in the calm that comes after the storm while we are going through the storm as we rest and trust in Jesus.
On the eve of Jesus being betrayed by Judas, that which Jesus had been telling His disciples for the past 6 months was about to happen, He would be betrayed and crucified. This would be the darkest time of the disciple's lives in many ways. Yet Jesus would attempt to comfort them with these words, "Let not your hearts be troubled, you believe in God, believe also in me. In My Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself and there you will be with me always."
The key to all that Jesus said is: you believe in God, believe also in Me. A common theme throughout the Bible is summed up in the words of Solomon of Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and do not lean on your own understanding."
Dearly beloved, the words that the psalmist wrote in Psalm 91 describes the place, peace, and rest that the Lord has for you and wants you to dwell.
Trust Him and place yourself in His loving hands.
your fellow servant in Christ, drew
