The Shadow

It is written in Psalm 91:1 . . . "Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty."

What does it mean to be in the Shadow of the Almighty?
Let's see . . .
- - You must be close in order to stand within someone's shadow.
- - If you stand close you're protected.
- - Closeness signifies love
- - You glean strength, assurance, comfort, security and trust.
- - Your foe will be frightened away as your protector engulfs them.
- - You can rest knowing that you are being cared for.
- - You will be renewed and strengthened as you rest in the shadow.
- - You realize your meagerness.
- - You feel safe and secure.
- - He is close enough to immediately come to your defense.
- - He is close enough for you to hand Him every concern.
- - He eliminates any need to worry.
- - You are kept from becoming over exposed to the outside world.
- - The perspective you have of the outside world is much clearer.
- - His influence impacts you (more likely to avoid sin) .
- - You strive to remain in this place of peace.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for allowing us to take refuge in your mighty presence.
Amen and Amen.
