This may sound like a bit of a stretch, but I think there is a lesson to be learned from the story of the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark; it shows what happens when people take the ark as source of power to be exploited for their own purposes. Do we do something similar when we treat Psalm 91 as an absolute promise that God must keep us from all harm?","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/m4wWP6RhgtaQVY-Fm9O749o40PLOWY6s4PUGIxxoi8E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81OGU5/YTlmZTk0ZmFmZWZl/OTk0NTgyNDEyMTBj/MDM0ZC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
