MY REFUGE AND MY FORTRESS

Psalm 91:1-2 (Nkjv) 
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High 
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 
I will say of the of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; 
My God, in Him I will trust.”

Where would you like to live if you had the choice? Wherever it is physically, I hope you’ve chosen to dwell, or live, in the secret place of the Most High. Sometimes we hear people say they’re living under a cloud, but we’re living under the shadow of the Almighty - that’s the All Mighty. Not just someone with a bit of authority or power but with all power and might.  If you’re in someone’s shadow it means they’re really close. God Himself is overshadowing and watching over us with His power.

If we are living there, then we’ll be saying something, we won’t be silent! The Nlt says it this way “This I declare about the Lord … Are we declaring anything? …He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust Him. How personal that is! We have something to declare and it’s essential that we do! We need to hear it, and so do the principalities and powers. 

Faith is voice activated. In order to be saved we had to confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord, and it’s the same with all the promises we receive from God. We need to say them, speak them.

The wonderful thing is, once we’ve made our declaration of verses1-2, then the rest of Psalm 91 is ours to claim with all it’s promises, but it’s dependent on what we do with the first two verses. So let’s dwell in the secret place of the Most High, in Christ, and say of the Lord He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” then we can enter in to enjoy the rest of the Psalm knowing it’s for us personally. Thank You Lord.

And if you’re anxious about your safety why not make it personal every day?😊
