Mr. Smith bases the title of this sermon on Psalm 91:1. He shows that this verse is a good example of a verse where we too often look at the wording as poetic and fail to see their full meaning. He goes through the words of this verse showing their meaning from other verses and in doing so shows us the deep meaning of this verse.
