In our blog He No Bother Me, one of the scriptures that we covered was the 91st Psalm. This Psalm is a powerful scripture that describes the awesome protection afforded to those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High and remain under the shadow of the Almighty. It is greater protection than a platoon of soldiers or a crack team of Ninja.
You wanna see for yourself? Check this out...
1 HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust! 3 For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. 4 [Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day, 6 Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. 8 Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you witness the reward of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, 10 There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent. 11 For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service]. 12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. 13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot. 14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness--trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never]. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.
Psalm 91 (Amplified Bible)
That scripture was also the foundation for another item in our Psalms from the Pen of the Ready Writer series. We wrote Secret Place while attending an Assemblies of God camp meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Quite an interesting place for us to be... but as Psalm 139:7-12 tells us, never so far away that we can’t touch and be touched by the Spirit of God.
When my heart is tired
hurt and disappointed
i run
to the secret place
When my burdens heavy
and my body’s weary
i reach
for His warm embrace
In the secret place of the Most High
He will wipe away every tear from my eye
i am stable.
i will abide.
In the secret place of the Most High
When i have nobody
there to tell my troubles
i run
to the secret place
When death’s shadows lurking
and the world stops turning
i gaze
on His lovely face
In the secret place of the Most High
He will wipe away every tear from my eye
i am stable.
i will abide.
In the secret place of the Most High
If no one stands with me
whole world turns against me
i run
to the secret place
satan cannot touch me
nobody can harm me
when i
anchor at His base
In the secret place of the Most High
He will wipe away every tear from my eye
i am stable.
i will abide.
In the secret place of the Most High
In the 1950’s, they had bomb shelters. But in the centuries before Christ... and even to this day... we have the Secret Place of the Most High.
Dwell in it!
