The Psalms are among the best-known and most-read sections of Scripture. In the Psalms, we are given testimonies of praise, lament, repentance, and worship. We are given a preview of who the Messiah will be, and how his salvation will reach...

When I find myself in negative places, I strive to say of the Lord that He is my God in whom I trust, just as the writer of Psalm 91 did. But there is also a deeper meaning in the first two verses, hidden in plain sight.

The short answer is that God does not hate you. He loves you deeply. He hates what sin has done to you. God created a perfect world that sin corrupted and destroyed. The great news of the gospel is that we can be free of sin!
