There is something uniquely appropriate about beginning a new year with Psalm 91. A new year arrives carrying both the weight of what has passed and the weight of what is unknown — hopes and fears held together in the still-blank days ahead. Psalm 91 speaks directly to both. It acknowledges the reality of danger…
There is a verse in Psalm 119 that describes the relationship between Scripture memorisation and spiritual protection: “I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.” (Psalm 119:11, WEB). When you memorise Psalm 91, you are embedding God’s protective promises so deeply in your memory that they are available…
Journalling is one of the most underrated tools for spiritual formation. When you write — when you put words on a page in response to Scripture — you engage your thinking, your feeling, and your will in ways that reading alone cannot achieve. Psalm 91 lends itself beautifully to extended journalling: it is rich enough…

One of the greatest gifts you can give a child is a foundation of Scripture so deeply embedded in their heart and mind that no circumstance of life can dislodge it. Psalm 91 is uniquely suited for this purpose. Its images are vivid and child-friendly — feathers and wings, angels with hands outstretched, lions and…
Questions of authorship and history might seem like dry academic concerns compared to the living promises of Psalm 91. But knowing the background of a piece of writing helps you understand it more fully — and in the case of Psalm 91, the historical and textual background is itself fascinating and faith-enriching.
