DWELLING IN GOD'S SECRET PLACE

� READ: Luke 11:5-8

MEMORISE:
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (Psalms 91:1)

We are living in the midst of trying and sometimes fearful times. Insurgency, diseases, economic unrest, failing governments, wars, etc., have taken their toll on mankind, and there seems to be no remedy for man's troubles. To escape the storms of life, there is only one place that man can find refuge, and that is in the secret place of God.



The secret place may simply be described as a hiding place (Psalms 32:7). Although, a secret place can refer to a physical location, it most often connotes a state of a soul in its relationship with God (Psalms 27:5). The psalmist is not referring to an actual tabernacle or tent in which he will hide from physical enemies. He is speaking of the state of peace that God gives in the midst of trials and attacks. It is a state of spiritual rest that prevails, regardless of the outward circumstances, whether palatable or otherwise.

To dwell in the secret place of God therefore, means to commit oneself to the will and protection of God, and daily seek to dwell in His presence. When one is abiding under the shadow of the Almighty, the person is preserved and protected; there is adequate divine coverage and shield from evil; there is the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and assurance of long life.

The secret of receiving God's protective care is a heart that is intimately attached to the Lord in gratitude and affection. He knows who such believers are and He will be with them in trouble, hear their prayers, and give them lives full of His divine presence and provision (John 15:4-10). Obviously, you desire that. Then, do His biddings!

PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, teach me how to dwell in Your secret place, abiding under Your shadow, and help me to live as such.
2. Lord, help me to enjoy the blessings of remaining within Your confines, with my home, ministry and endeavours.
3. Pray for ministers of the Gospel who were once vibrant in the Lord, but have derailed, that God should bring them back to His holy path and ministry.

EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Ezekiel 28 - 32
