“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”
—Psalm 91:1
There are different words we use to describe people that indicate their relationship to us. For example, we describe family members as husbands, wives, sons, and daughters. And if someone is our teacher or pastor or doctor, we might describe them by their vocations.
In Psalm 91, we find an interesting presentation of the nature and character of God. In fact, the psalmist begins by giving us four different pictures of God, four different words to describe the Lord. And each one gives us a different glimpse into who He is.
Verse 1 says, “Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty” (NLT). The Hebrew word translated “Most High” is Elohim, which speaks of God as the One who possesses everything. It’s a reminder that God owns and possesses all.
