info_outlinePsalm 91 is a favorite passage for soldiers because it reminds them of God's watchful care of His people; yet its promises are for anyone who seeks to follow the Lord. Join us as we study this favorite psalm and reflect of God's protective care!
STUDY AND DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. The podcast mentioned that Psalm 91 is another example of “Gnomic Literature”. What is “Gnomic Literature” and how does this genre help us apply the promises of this psalm?
2. This psalm is filled with many promises, but they are not for everyone; only for those who pursue the conditions of this psalm. Verse 2 gives the first of four conditions in this psalm. What is the author declaring about his trust in God? In this verse, what is God like for the author? What does this mean?
3. Going back to verse 1, this is the first of many promises in this psalm. What is this first promise? Why is it foundational to every other promise in this psalm?
4. Read over verses 3 & 4. How would you characterize these promises? What are they promises for? What might be a contemporary application of these principles?
5. In verse 4, what does it mean to be covered with God’s “pinions”? What is a “pinon”? What does this demonstrate about the close care that God has for His people?
6. Read over verses 5 to 7, and 10. What are the promises these verses contain? Are these blanket promises? Why or why not?
7. In verse 8, what will God’s people see? If they are seeing “this” happen to the wicked, what does this mean about them and their standing with the Lord? Why do they have this standing?
8. Verse 9 gives the second of the four conditions in this psalm. What has this person done? What is the significance of the word “for” in this verse?
9. Do verses 11 & 12 sound familiar? If so, why? How was that occasion a misuse of these promises? How might someone misuse these promise today?
10. Verses 14 provides the third condition in this psalm. What is being spoken of in this verse? What does it mean to love God? What does it mean to know His name? What does God promise to those who love Him and know His name? Why can we rely upon this promise?
11. Verse 15 provides the final condition in this psalm. What does it mean to “Call upon the Lord”? Is this the same thing as a person who occasionally asks God for help? How is it different? In verses 15 & 16, what promises does God have for those who call upon Him?
12. When you think of your own walk with the Lord…
a. Have you made God your fortress and refuge (vss. 2 & 9)? What does that look like?
b. Have you loved God and known His name (vs 14)? How?
c. Have you called upon God (vs 15)? When?
13. Where have been times in your own life when you’ve seen the promises of Psalm 91 fulfilled? When there have been times when life has not gone as you would have wanted or expected, how can you still trust God’s sovereignty in the midst of life’s challenges?
