He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. -- Psalm 91:1
Sometimes the unexpected pounces upon us with tribulations we might rather not face on a particular day. In the Bible we have what have been called emergency verses for those sudden tough times. And one of the easier to recall is the reference for today's verse, 911, or Psalm 91:1. However, these verses are also quite suitable for a calm time of Bible reflection and study. Dwelling is a place where we live, but in this verse if we dwell in one special place, we get to abide in another. It may seem that to dwell in the secret place of God, the Most High, would be Heaven, but that is not secret. The secret place we all have is in our heart or mind, where even repressive governments cannot see what is going on in those thoughts. Much of the time they wouldn't want to, but that's a story for another day. When the seeker comes to believe in Jesus, the door opens to the Holy Spirit and we dwell from then on in the secret place of the Most High. Which grants to us an abiding under the protecting shadow of the Almighty. This is not to say that tribulations will not come, as our Lord Jesus has said, but now we do not face them alone.
Have a heart safe day under the shadow of the Almighty!
