Psalm 91:1 - Promises with a Prerequisite.

Psalm 91:1 (NLT) Those who live in the 
shelter of the Most High will find rest in the 
shadow of the Almighty.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Without question, Psalm 91 is a real gem 
among the psalms. Next to Psalm 23, it probably 
has brought more encouragement and comfort 
throughout the centuries than any other psalm. 
   But it's worth noting that the blessings 
promised in Psalm 91 aren't for just anyone. They are 
specifically given to believers - and not just to 
believers in general. These benefits are targeted 
toward believers who specifically meet the 
requirements found within the psalm. Psalm 91 is full of 
what we call conditional promises. In other 
words, God promises to do certain things for us, 
hinging on our doing certain things that are 
required. 
   Verse 1 begins, "He who dwells in the 
secret place of the Most High ..." The word dwells 
could be translated as "quiet and resting, 
enduring and remaining with consistency." It is very 
similar to the word abide, which we see often in the 
New Testament. Jesus said, "He who abides in Me, 
and I in him, bears much fruit" (John 15:5). 
That word abide means "to stay in a given place, 
to maintain unbroken fellowship and communion 
with another." 
   Here's what God is saying: If you want to 
experience the promises of Psalm 91 - My protection, My 
provision, and My blessing - you must dwell in the 
secret place of the Most High. You must remain in 
constant fellowship with Me." 
   We have relationship with God because we 
have put our faith in Jesus Christ and have 
turned from our sin. But are we living in constant 
fellowship with God? Many believers aren't. God is 
interested in a relationship with you - not just on 
Sundays, but throughout the week. He wants you to 
dwell in the secret place of the Most High. [Every 
Day with Jesus by Greg Laurie]
