Psalms 91:1<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. \u00a0I will say to the LORD, \u201cMy refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.\u201d \u00a0For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. \u00a0He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, \u00a0nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. \u00a0A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. \u00a0You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. \u00a0Because you have made the LORD your dwelling place\u2014 the Most High, who is my refuge\u2014 \u00a0no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent. \u00a0For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. \u00a0On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. \u00a0You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot. \u00a0\u201cBecause he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. \u00a0When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. \u00a0With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thoughts by\u00a0Charles H. Spurgeon:<\/p>\n

The blessings here promised are not for all believers, but for those who live in close fellowship with God. Every child of God looks towards the inner sanctuary and the mercyseat, yet all do not dwell in the most holy place; they run to it at times, and enjoy occasional approaches, but they do not habitually reside in the mysterious presence. Those who through rich grace obtain unusual and continuous communion with God, so as to abide in Christ and Christ in them, become possessors of rare and special benefits, which are missed by those who follow afar off, and grieve the Holy Spirit of God. Into the secret place those only come who know the love of God in Christ Jesus, and those only dwell there to whom to live is Christ. To them the veil is rent, the mercyseat is revealed, the covering cherubs are manifest, and the awful glory of the Most High is apparent. \u00a0Those who are the Lord’s constant guests shall find that he will never suffer any to be injured within his gates.\u00a0The Omnipotent Lord will shield all those who dwell with him, they shall remain under his care as guests under the protection of their host. \u00a0his protection is constant–they abide<\/i> under it, and it is all sufficient, for it is the shadow of the<\/i> Almighty<\/i>, whose omnipotence will surely screen them from all attack. No shelter can be imagined at all comparable to the protection of Jehovah’s own shadow. The Almighty himself is where his shadow is, and hence those who dwell in his secret place are shielded by himself. What a shade in the day of noxious heat! What a refuge in the hour of deadly storm! Communion with God is safety. The more closely we cling to our Almighty Father the more confident may we be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
