☀️ Psalms 91
Psalms 91 opens with these words: “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” The line to keep is Psalms 91:2: “I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”” Carry the word “refuge” from that verse into the rest of the day.
Psalms 91 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.
Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,” Psalms 91 opens with these words: “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” The line to keep is Psalms 91:2: “I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”” Carry the word “refuge” from that verse into the rest of the day.
The line worth learning out loud is Psalms 91:2: “I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.
What happens first in Psalms 91? Then try this: Read “I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
“I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.””
