Psalm 91 verse 1. Think of this first verse as finding shade on a scorching day. When the sun blazes down, we naturally seek shelter under a tree or a shaded area.

In life, when we face stress, fear, or worry, God becomes our shelter. By choosing to be close to Him, through prayer, faith, and belief, we step into His shade, where we find rest and relief from the heat of our troubles. In the shadow of His wings, I find peace that safety brings.

No fear, no storm can shake my core. In His presence, I need no more. Imagine a child frightened by a storm, running to a parent's embrace. The storm is still there,
but in the parent's arms, the child feels safe. This is how God's presence can feel, giving us peace amid life's storms. Trusting God as our protector.

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.

Psalm 91 verse 2. A fortress is a strong, secure place built to withstand attacks. God is our fortress.

The psalmist reminds us that we can rely on His strength when we feel weak or vulnerable. It's like having an unbreakable wall around our hearts and minds, where we can run when life's battles seem too much. In trials fierce and shadows deep, my trust in Him I choose to keep.

For He's my fortress, ever strong. My shield, my strength, my victory song.
