SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATION!

Psalms 91:4,9-10
[4]He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
[9]Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
[10]There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

OBSERVATION!

The journey you are about to enter into will place before you the knowledge of the breathe, width, and height of your faith, and ability to trust in your relationship between you and “YESHUA!”

What many fail to understand or are unable to recognize is how to  live spiritually with and in their faith.

There are two very specific requirements described as prerequisites.        

Psalms 91:1
[1]He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

You must be “abiding.” For me, I take that to mean, you have to commit 100% (Put forward A First Commandment walk, Love Yeshua with ALL your heart soul and strength) not just to appease the prayer but consistently as your life style and walk as a believer but especially more so as a teacher, shepherd and a leader (Pastor, or Minister).

This reveals bringing all your needs to God, abandoning all those worldly desires you have or are clinging onto, which are offering comfort, luxury, and in many cases, status in your eyes and the eyes of those in the world surrounding and supporting you.

These actions in God’s eyes are merely nothing more than an effort on the part of the individuals involved to gain Yahewa’s approval through works. You commonly hear “look what I have accomplished in God’s name.” Matthew 7:22-23 KJV
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

The second priority is described in

Psalms 91:1,4
[1]He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
[4]He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

This second requirement seems to be looming as a poor accomplishment for many individuals in exercising their “trust.”

COMMENTARY!

When you analyze this whole picture, it becomes clear why we must hold trust as support to our faith.

The spiritual life is protected by Divine grace from the temptations of Satan, which are as the snares of the fowler, and from the contagion of sin, which is a noisome pestilence. Great security is promised to believers in the midst of danger (plagues, sickness, famine, natural and political disasters).

Having wisdom  develops trust, which will keep you from being afraid without cause, and your faith will keep you from being unduly afraid. Psalms 91:2,
[2]I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Having trust is  knowing that whatever is done, our heavenly Father’s will will be done; and we have no reason to fear. Matthew 18:19
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

God’s people shall see, not only God’s promises fulfilled, but his threatenings.

Psalms 91:8
[8]Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Paul offers a profound look at why there might be a shallow or lack of trust. Paul knew the mysteries of the kingdom of God as well as any man; yet he confesses himself at a loss; and despairing to find the bottom of those mysteries, he humbly sits down at the brink, and adores the depth. Luke 8:10 KJV
And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

There is not only depth in the Divine counsels but riches; abundance of that which is precious and valuable. The Divine counsels are complete; they have not only depth and height, but breadth and length, Ephesians 3:18
[18]May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; , and that passing knowledge.

The apostle seems to be more anxious lest the believers should be discouraged and faint upon his tribulations than for what he himself had to bear.

1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

He asks for spiritual blessings, which are the best blessings. Strength from the Spirit of God in the inner man; strength in the soul; the strength of faith, to serve God, and to do our duty. If the law of Christ is written in our hearts, and the love of Christ is shed abroad there, then Christ dwells there. Matthew 18:20 KJV
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Where his Spirit dwells, there he dwells. We should desire that good affections may be fixed in us. And how desirable to have a fixed sense of the love of God in Christ to our souls! How powerfully the apostle speaks of the love of Christ!

The breadth shows its extent to all nations and ranks; the length, that it continues from everlasting to everlasting; the depth, its saving those who are sunk into the depths of sin and misery; the height, its raising them up to heavenly happiness and glory. Those who receive grace for grace from Christ’s fulness, may be said to be filled with the fulness of God.

Should not this satisfy man? Must he needs fill himself with a thousand trifles, fancying thereby to complete his happiness?

If the devil cannot hinder ministers from labouring in the word and doctrine, he will, if possible, hinder the success of their labours.

No one would willingly labour in vain. It is the will and purpose of God that we enter into his kingdom through many afflictions. And the apostles, far from flattering people with the expectation of worldly prosperity in religion, told them plainly they must count upon trouble in the flesh.

John 16:33 KJV
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Herein, they followed the example of their great Master, the Author of our faith. Christians were in danger, and they should be forewarned; they will thus be kept from being improved by any devices of the tempter.

Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven Yahewa. And all of God’s children say Amen and Amen.
