I.Promises of Protection 4 – Truths from Ps 91
A.Promises of Protection (Read Psalm 91 NKJV)
1. (v1-8) “He that dwells in the secret place…”
2. (v9-12) “Because you have made the v2LORD, who is my v2refuge, even the v1Most High, your dwelling place. No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.”
a. “…who is my refuge…”
~(v2) “I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in Him I will trust.”
~(Ps. 57:1) refuge = trust. To make the LORD your refuge is to trust Him in all things.

~(Jos. 20:1-3; Deut. 19:4-5) 6 cities of refuge

~(Luke 15:4-7) the lost sheep
