Lets take Psalms 91 for our meditation. What does it says?
A very beautiful and praise worthy psalm King David wrote about the all around protection provided by our dear Almighty God. It was a daily experience of King David. He could testify the goodness of his God without any discrepancy. How can we apply this particular psalm to our life dear soldiers of God?
The First verse says
Verse 1. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Wow, dwelling in the secret place of the Most High is the very secret of life. Also we can say a habitation. Let’s look at verse 9 what it says?
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
Wow, what a revelation. to understand that One must make his or her a secret place of dwelling or a habitation in the Most High.
The psalmist also mentions because he has made the Lord his refuge
What is exactly the meaning of refuge?
The state of being safe or sheltered from pursuit, danger or difficulty. Its a place or a situation providing safety or shelter. Yes dear soldiers of Lord Jesus Christ, God is our refuge, a very reliable source working day and night for the safety and shelter of His people.. Truly if we make our God as the secret place and take shelter under his shadow we shall abide or stay connected to God and make Him our refuge we shall also say like King David in Verses 2 -8 of psalms 91
91:2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
91:3 Surely He shall deliver me from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
91:4 He shall cover me with his feathers, and under his wings shalt I trust: His truth shall be my shield and buckler.
91:5 I shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
91:6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 91:7 A thousand shall fall at my side, and ten thousand at my right hand; but it shall not come nigh me.
91:8 Only with mine eyes shalt I behold and see the reward of the wicked.
What all promises we get in this wonderful psalm 91.
Further it says in
Psalms 91:10 There shall no evil befall me, neither shall any plague come nigh my dwelling. 91:11 For He shall give His angels charge over me, to keep me in all my ways.
91:12 They shall bear me up in their hands, lest I dash my foot against a stone.
91:13 I shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt I trample under feet.
91:14 Because I have set my love upon Him, therefore will He deliver me: He will set me on high, because I have known His name.
91:15 I shall call upon Him, and He will answer me: He will be with me in trouble; He will deliver me, and honour me.
91:16 With long life will He satisfy me, and shew me His salvation.
Lets learn to abide under the shadow of the Almighty God who is our refuge and my dwelling place.
