We Will Survive

I remember when I was being prepped for surgery, and the IV was ready to start.  I remember my short prayer I whispered to God "Abba, stay close."

There is a place just for you, and it's secret.  It's a place for you to dwell, to live, to reside.  It's a confidential place, a shelter.  It's designed by God to elude observation or detection from anyone or anything that could harm you.  It's the one place where I feel secure, without fear.  You can go there and stay as long as you want.  It's up to you.  You will find El-Shaddai there, the Almighty God.

Psalm 91.1 says "He who dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."

Think about this.  How close do you have to be to someone to stand under their shadow?  Very close.  That's where I want to be.  Under His shadow.
