Deep Dive into The Treasury of David by Charles Spurgeon - Psalm 91The provided text is a detailed exposition of Psalm 91 from Charles Spurgeon's "The Treasury of David." While the original author is unstated, Jewish tradition and various commentators often attribute the work to Moses, linking its specific imagery of plagues, deadly serpents, and daytime heat to the experiences of the Israelites during their perilous wilderness journey.The central theme of the commentary is the profound spiritual and physical security promised to those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High. Spurgeon repeatedly emphasizes that these remarkable blessings of safety are reserved not for casual or distant worshippers, but strictly for believers who maintain an intimate, continuous communion with God, actively choosing to make Him their personal refuge and fortress.The text explores how God shields His devoted followers from a multitude of dangers, including nighttime terrors, daytime arrows, and deadly, unseen pestilences. Spurgeon shares a moving personal account of finding immense spiritual comfort and physical immunity during the devastating 1854 London cholera epidemic by relying on the promises within this Psalm. Additional historical anecdotes further illustrate how deep faith provides either miraculous physical preservation or a fearless, serving serenity during times of severe disease.Furthermore, the commentary extensively highlights the protective ministry of angels. God commissions these powerful, wise beings to act as a constant bodyguard to believers, carefully keeping them safe in all their lawful ways so they do not even stumble over minor obstacles. Believers are also promised victorious dominion over subtle and powerful enemies, symbolized by the trampling of lions and adders. Ultimately, the exposition outlines the final rewards for those who set their devoted love upon God: He promises to answer their prayers, be intimately present with them in trouble, and satisfy them with eternal life.Reformed Theologian GPT: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-XXwzX1gnv-reformed-theologianYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@ReformedExplainerSpotify Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1t5dz4vEgvHqUknYQfwpRI?si=e-tDRFR2Qf6By1sAcMdkdwhttps://buymeacoffee.com/edi2730
