March 27, 2020 – Psalm 91:11-13
Today, we continue our discussion on Psalm 91 by looking at one of the ways our Father will protect us as mentioned in Psalm 91:11-13. It reads:
11 For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.
12 They will bear you up in their hands,
That you do not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you will trample down.
– Psalm 91:11-13 (NASB)
Verse 11-12: God has commissioned His angels to care for believers who make God their refuge. Angels protect[1] from physical harm and give believers strength[2] to overcome difficulties, pictured here as wild lions and dangerous snakes (v. 13). Satan, in tempting Christ, quoted 91:11–12 (Matt. 4:6; Luke 4:10-11), which shows that even God’s most marvelous promises can be foolishly applied. Similarly, this reminds us that Satan knows the Scriptures and can twist and turn them in ways that we may not be prepared for.
