St Barnabas Daily Devotions

Psalm 91

Psalms 91 - Daily Devotion - 18 May 2026 St Barnabas Anglican Church Fairfield & Bossley Park A reminder: This month, we are using our do-it-yourself method for reading the Psalms. Each day, after the reading, I’ll ask you to reflect on two questions: 1. What things in this Psalm can I relate to? 2. Is there anything in the Psalm that makes me think of Jesus? It could be something about his ministry, his suffering and death, his resurrection, his kingdom, or what God has done for us through Jesus. But don’t worry if you can’t always think of something – just read, reflect and pray. 1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 3 Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague. 4 He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart. 5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the calamity that destroys at noon. 7 Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, no harm will come near you. 8 You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the LORD your dwelling— my refuge, the Most High—10 no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent. 11 For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. 12 They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread on the lion and cobra; you will trample the young lion and serpent. 14 “Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him. 15 When he calls out to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.” REFLECTIONS Now think about the two questions: What things in this Psalm can I relate to? Is there anything in the Psalm that makes me think of Jesus? Then pray, seeking to delight in God or to depend on God .
