Psalms 91:4
Date Posted: January 28, 2024

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

Strong's Definition of truth. Contracted from H539; stability; figuratively certainty, truth, trustworthiness: - assured (-ly), establishment, faithful, right, sure, true (-ly, -th), verity.

Strong's Definition of shield. Feminine of H6791; a hook (as pointed); also a (large) shield (as if guarding by prickliness); also cold (as piercing): - buckler, cold, hook, shield, target.

Definition of prickly. PRICKLY, adjective Full of sharp points or prickles; armed with prickles; as a prickly shrub. (Websters Dictionary 1828)

With these definitions in place, we could read part of this scripture like this.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: I trust His faithfulness will surround me like a shield of spearheads.

The Almighty is flexing His impenetrable strength for all to see. Or is He? At this point, in the life of Satan, he is fully aware of God's might, dominance, and authority. Remember, Satan had to ask God for permission to attack Job. Satan already knows he is powerless against God. It is us that need to get to the same deep-seated understanding. Paul the Apostle says it like this, 'If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us? ' Romans 8:31 AMP

1 John 4 (AMP) says, 'Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God, and you belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind]. '

To get the full measure of force in these two verses from the Apostles, we must remember they had a personal revelation of God's power and protection in their lives. They spent time with Jesus and continued to build an intimate trust relationship with Him until they died. They learned to entrust their lives to Jesus through the Holy Spirit. We can do the same.

Let's call on the Holy Spirit to give us a new profound revelation of God's power and protection surrounding us as we seek refuge under His wings.
