FAITH CAPSULE: The right place to be is in the secret place of God.
Psalm 91
Psalm 27:5 states, “For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.”
Through the pages of the Bible, it is clear that the word of God is His secret.
For example, God created all by His word.
Amos 3:7 records, “Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.”
His word is His secret for those who do not serve Him.
Those who serve Him are in place to know the secret and live by His secret.
Fear God constantly and consistently to dwell in His secret place.
Psalm 91:1 records, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
Interestingly, anyone who chooses to dwell in the secret place of the Most High?
One who gains a position in the secret place is supposed to become directed and preserved by God.
The word of God is God, and His shadow is of Him.
Know how to become secure under His shadow.
However, the secret place of the Most High is not a physical place nor as in a church building.
One who fears God has a place in the presence of God.
Psalm 25:14 admonishes, “The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant.”
Know to fear God and gain a dwelling and abiding in the secret of God.Among the blessings of dwelling in the secret place of the Most High God is uncommon protection in the face of confronting challenges.
To be under the watchful eye of God that is not visible to the naked eye is to be in His secret place.
Do you fear God indeed and in truth, or do you fear Him just at your mouth?
What does it mean to fear God?
To fear the Lord is to love the Lord.
God wants all to love Him because He is love.
Deuteronomy 30:6 buttresses,“And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.”
To fear the Lord is to love Him.
To love Him is to live for the glory of God.
Those who dwell in the fear of God are in His secret place.
One cannot fear God today and not fear Him tomorrow, the character of dwelling and abiding.
Fear God continually, expecting to dwell in the secret place of the Most High.
Dwelling in a secret place demands living constantly and consistently in the fear of God.
Without the fear of the Lord, there will be no abiding in the secret place of the Most High.
Prayer for today: Ask God to put His fear in your heart so that you may abide under the shadow of the Most High.
