Pastor's September 2026 Letter
In verse six the end result of the Lord being our Shepherd is “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives.” “Goodness” refers to blessings. “Mercy” refers to forgiveness. Finally “we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
This last verse is the only one that refers to heaven – our eternal home.
Dear Beloved of Faith Family Fellowship,
Greetings in the Name of the Lord. This month I would like to share with you on the 91st Psalm.
I would like to begin this study by giving some of the background of this Psalm. Both Psalm 90 and 91 were written by Moses. It is believed that both Psalms were written after the time of the plagues in Egypt which Moses saw firsthand God’s protection. This Psalm is a Psalm of protection for God’s people in every generation as we dwell in the secret place of the Most High through fellowship with God.
The first verse starts by saying, “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High.” This has reference to our union and fellowship/relationship that we have with God. It is speaking of God’s presence, His nature, His power, and His provision. Other scriptures that refer to “dwelling in the secret place” are found in Psalm 31:20, Psalm 27:4-5, Psalm 32:7, Psalm 119:114.
In verse one it speaks of “abiding under the shadow of the Almighty.” This gives reference to our being under His defense and protection. Verse one is also in connection with verse four His defense and protection. Verse one is also in connection with verse four which speaks of “He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt trust.” This is symbolic of a bird protecting its young under it’s wing. Other Psalm 61:4, Psalm 57:1, Psalm 36:7, Psalm 17:8. These scriptures are stressing the fact that only in God’s presence is there a place of security and protection.
In verse one, it is important that we understand what it means to “dwell in the secret place of the Most High.” The word “dwell” literally means “to abide, remain, settle, continue, and live.” John 15:1-7 reveals that dwelling in the secret place of the Most High is that place of fellowship/relationship with God in Christ through the Holy Spirit and God’s Word. Other scriptures that refer to this fact are Colossians 3:1-3, I John 5:18, Acts 17:28.
We will continue our study on the 91st Psalm Next month. Each of the verses in this Psalm instruct us as believers how to walk by faith in God’s Word and stay in faith this hour.
As we apply these five words in our daily lives we will grow in the assurance of all God is to us and desires to be to us.

1. A refreshing and renewing of His Spirit and Word.
Through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ He has become our Shepherd—Lord on a personal level. Everything we could ever need or desire has already been provided for us in Him. He is everything we need Him to be to us. Our redemption in Him has made sure of that. That is why it is important that we as His sheep not just try to know the Psalm. We must come to know the Shepherd in the Psalm. For it is in knowing intimately the Shepherd in Psalm 23 that we begin to understand the fullness of our redemption and all that God has made available to us in Christ. As you meditate on Psalm 23 allow the Holy Spirit to bring it alive to you in your heart. Let Him reveal to you all that the Shepherd is to you and all that you are to the Shepherd as His sheep. It will transform your thinking and change your life.
