He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High


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

What is the "secret place of the Most High"—but the hiding-place of His love in Christ Jesus?

The believer who does not merely resort to this retreat occasionally, but who takes up his abode in it—who dwells in the love of God in Christ Jesus—abides "under the shadow of the Almighty."

He not only has the perfect security that arises from the protection of omnipotence—but enjoys also a comfort and refreshment comparable to that derived from the shadow of "a great rock in a weary land;" or from the shade of a large tree laden with precious fruit, "I sat under His shadow with great delight, and His fruit was sweet unto my taste."

Let the Lord be your habitation, O my soul, and dwell in the secret place of the Most High—so shall you realize the blessedness of abiding under the shadow of the Almighty. "He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings shall you trust.

His truth shall be your shield and buckler." You shall dwell in safety by Him, and be kept "quiet from fear of evil."
