Isaiah 41:10

Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty

Psalm 91:1

When you were a kid, did you ever have a hiding place? A place you would run to when you were afraid or wanted to be alone? God wants to be your hiding place. The good news is that you can retreat to this hiding place wherever you are.
Psalm 91:1 tells us, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (nkjv).
It is worth noting that the blessings promised in this psalm are not for just anyone. They are specifically given to believers—and not just believers in general but believers who specifically meet the requirements in it. Psalm 91 is full of conditional promises. God promises to do certain things for us, hinging on our doing certain things that are required of us in this psalm.
We have a relationship with God because we have put our faith in Jesus Christ and have turned from our sin. But are we living in constant communion and fellowship with God? That is so important. Many people are not. They are not dwelling consistently with God. But the Lord wants you to dwell in the secret place of the Most High.
He wants you to be like Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet when He came to visit her home in Bethany. There is a time for busyness. There is a time for work. And there is also a time to worship. Unfortunately, we sometimes substitute perspiration for inspiration and work for worship.
If you do that, it only will be a matter of time until you spiritually burn out. You can’t give out more than you take in. You need to live in communion with Him. You need to dwell in the secret place of the Most High.

Crisis Prayer Topic:  Under the Shadow 

In Psalm 91, the psalmist is under a shadow.  But it is not a shadow of despair.  It is the shadow of the Almighty, under which He intends for us to abide.    

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”  Psalm 91: 1 

Pray we would abide in our Almighty God, giver and sustainer of life.  That we would say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”   

Praise Him for His deliverance from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.  Thank the LORD for His covering wings under which we can take refuge.  That His truth shall be our shield and buckler.  That we shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. 

Because he has set His love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him.  Thank you, LORD for your deliverance through Jesus Christ our Lord!
