DWELLING IN THE SECRET PLACE
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
There is something comforting about having a place you can go to and feel safe: a quiet room, a favorite chair, or even a peaceful spot under the trees.
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1
These spaces give us a sense of calm and rest, but the secret place mentioned here is deeper than any physical location. It is a spiritual refuge, one we find when we choose to stay close to God.
To dwell in the secret place means to live there, not visiting occasionally when life gets tough. When we make God our constant source of peace, strength, and direction, it is when we intentionally draw near to God day by day, resting in His presence and relying on His protection.
When we do that, something powerful happens: we begin to abide under His shadow. Think of it, being so close to God that His presence covers us like shade on a hot day. In His shadow, we are protected and shielded from dangers we may not even see coming.
God invites us into this relationship, not one of fear or performance but of trust and intimacy. He does not just want to be part of our lives when we are in a crisis; He wants to be our dwelling place every day. The more we learn to rest in Him, the more we discover how faithful, strong, and unshakable He is.
The next time worries rise, or the world feels unsteady, remember your peace is in God, and it is found in worship, prayer, and turning your heart toward Him. That is where His peace surrounds you, and His shadow covers you.
Heavenly Father, draw me into Your secret place. Help me dwell there daily, trusting You with every part of my life. Let Your presence be my refuge and peace. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
