My Secret Place
Print ViewI 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.
Dear Abbaschild, It took a bit to find you, but I wanted to thank you for spending a few moments "with" me learning to watch for the Spirit. Now I will spend many moments "with" you, for you, in prayer. You know the Word, but these verses I would like to remind you of, and pray for you ~ From Malachi 4:2 - BUT TO YOU WHO FEAR MY NAME THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL ARISE WITH HEALING IN HIS WINGS ... Ps 36:7-9 - that you, who put your trust under the shadow of His wings will be ABUNDANTLY SATISFIED WITH THE FULLNESS OF (HIS) HOUSE, ... and DRINK FROM THE RIVER OF (HIS) PLEASURES. FOR WITH (GOD) IS THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE; IN (HIS) LIGHT WE SEE LIGHT! (And hope!) and my prayer from Ps 57:1 - Be merciful to her,O God, be merciful. For her soul trusts in You; and in the shadow of Your wings she makes her refuge, until these calamities have passed by. Abiding with you under the shadow of our great God ~
