Finding Protection in the Chaos of Life

Looking Back

1. How are you growing and applying what you’ve learned in the last week?

Explore

2. What does it mean to “dwell in the shelter of the Most High” (Psalm 91:1), and what four names of God does the Psalmist use to describe His protection?

3. According to Psalm 91:4, what imagery is used to describe God’s protection, and how does it connect to the picture of a shield and buckler in verse 4b?

Examine

4. Pastor John said that Psalm 91 is not about superpowers, and even Jesus refused to misuse it (Matthew 4:6-7). What does this teach us about the limits of claiming divine promises without discernment?

5. Pastor John said, “God is sovereign... He does miracles... but don’t put yourself in harm’s way.” How do the examples of Hezekiah (2 Kings 19:32-35), Daniel, and Paul clarify how God's protection works in both ordinary and miraculous ways?

Apply

6. Psalm 91:9-10 says, “If you make the Most High your dwelling... no harm will overtake you.” Pastor John asked, “Are the things in your home a dwelling place for the Most High?” How can we make our daily lives more aligned with dwelling in God’s presence?

7. Pastor John said, “Enter into his protection, continue to seek his protection, stick with his great promises of protection.” In light of Psalm 91:14-16 and the entire message, how does embracing God’s refuge transform our response to fear, danger, and life’s uncertainties?
