This Psalm speaks of God’s power, comfort, and protection against fear. It is a promise that we will not suffer from plagues and calamities as God’s JUDGEMENT against our sins. Our sins have been atoned for, by the blood of Jesus Christ. According to the new covenant, Christ promises us glory, immortality and eternal life. Hence , it is no longer death to die .Instead it means entering glorious immortality .
2 Thessalonian 2:14 and 1 Corinthian 15:53.
And that is better than any promise in the old covenant. The old covenant promises physical blessings in this world, whereas the new covenant promises spiritual blessings, and eternal life in our next life.
Even in perilous times, as the COVID-19 pandemic, we should recall that He is our shelter, our protector and our deliverer. We ought to also remember that God is in control, forever and always.
We can never escape the grave, but if we are obedient , righteous and abide in Christ, then regardless of the difficulties we face in this world, we can have eternal life by His grace, and we will be protected under His wings for eternity.
In life or death, you will “rest in the shadow of the Almighty” ( Psalm 91:12)
