I was reminded yesterday that you have to be close to something to be in it's shadow. In the same way in order for us to be under the shadow of the Almighty we have to be dwelling close to Him.
The good news is God our Father has placed and hidden us 'in Christ' in Him so we know we are close to Him and the more we see ourselves to be in Christ we shall be aware of dwelling under the shadow of the Almighty.
We can say with confidence 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in Him I will trust.' (v.2)
God's wants us to know we're safe in Christ, in Him. It's the safest place in the world to be, no matter what's happening around us. He goes on in Psalm 91 to give us assurance after assurance, whether it's noonday, darkest night, terrorist attacks, plagues, any form of evil. He says when we're in Christ He will cover us with His wings, and give His angels charge over us.
We are not vulnerable, we are not exposed, we are hidden in Christ. Colossians 3:3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
As we begin a new week, we can say "Thank You Lord I am in Christ. You Lord are my refuge and my fortress, You are my God and in You I will trust everyday of my coming week. I commit it all to You knowing You are going before me, looking after me and protecting me."
Psalm 32:7 You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.
