The Shadow of the Almighty

Psalm 91:1
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Psalm 91 is full of promises for God’s children. I have recently finished reading a book called “Psalm 91” by Peggy Joyce Ruth and God opened my eyes to the many promises embedded in this wonderful Psalm. This is also a Psalm of deliverance!
Who shall abide (rest per NIV) under the shadow of the Almighty? The answer is, only those that dwell in the secret place of the Most High! Abiding under the shadow of the Almighty means to rest under His shadow where you are protected from the snares of the wicked one.

This reminds me of my experience walking from school in the street on a very hot summer day back home in India. When I walk under the shadow of a tree, it felt like heaven. Just standing for a few minutes under the cool shadow of the tree was an amazing experience. I used to look for the trees all along my way until I reached home. This tree only protected me from the scorching heat of the sun but when you rest under the shadow of the Almighty, you are protected from the fiery darts of the wicked one all through your life. You don’t get to rest under the shadow of the Almighty if you don’t dwell in the secret place of the Most High.

Dwelling in the secret place of the Most High means you made the secret place of the Most High your shelter. You constantly (24*7) commune with Him, seek His face, His counsel, His direction, His guidance in your everyday walk of life, praise and worship Him, love Him, adore Him, trust Him and He is your everything! Your will for life is in alignment with His will for yours.

Are you dwelling in the secret place of the Most High? If not make the secret place of the Most High your dwelling place and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. He is Omnipotent God of the Universe and there is NONE in comparison to Him. He desires to protect you and cover you under His precious and mighty wings. With all that we are witnessing in the world today around us, it is high time you seek to dwell at the right place. The only right place to dwell is the secret place of the Most High to be under His shadow!
