Psalm 91:1
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.The "secret place of the Most High" is referring to the mercy seat on the ark of the covenant. This was a place where God's presence, His glory rested. What an incredible experience to be able to dwell, to live, to abide in His presence! It's too bad that the Holy of Holies was off limits for everyone but the High Priest, and even off limits for him all but one time a year. So how then, can we live in the presence of the Most High God? Jesus, God's Son, has become the mercy seat! That golden ark in the temple was only a shadow of Him, but now we have the real deal, and all that kept us away before has been washed completely away....praise God! Now think about, because this is extremely significant.......as believers, we can live, or abide under His shadow. To me that means protection, provision and security........I'll take it! I think that we make this harder than it is, or at least I have many times.......like it's hard work to find that "sweet spot" of Gods anointing and power. The word "dwell" doesn't denote working or striving, but that's what we try to make it out to be. Jesus calls us to come to Him when we are weary and heavy laden, and He will give us rest. I believe that's the key.......resting, trusting, believing in the One who has become our mercy seat. Where are you living? Think about it, then change your address if needed. Amen
