Ps. 91:1-2 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will
find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
What an awesome comfort
and security for the soul! When we live in Christ, we are protected and taken
care of by Him. A shelter is where one goes to get out of the elements of
nature when they threaten us. It protects us from the storms of life and all
those times in which it may not be stormy, but still uncomfortable for us. As
long as we remain in the shelter, we are alright. The stronger our shelter is, the more secure
we feel. The shelter of the Most High is
His righteousness and holiness.
When we begin to
experience the influences of evil, it is because we wander outside of the
shelter of God's protective care. When we sin, it is because we wander away
from the Lord. When we fail to apply God's Word to our lives, it's because we
wander outside the shelter of His protective care.
We must understand this
wonderful truth. It is imperative that we live in the shelter of the Most High.
We will never make it if we don't. We are not strong enough to stand on our own
two feet without the protection of God. We are not able to live godly lives on
our own. There is no rest for those who are outside of the shelter of God's
protective love.
Notice that we are not
to just flee to the shelter when we are in trouble, we are to live in the
shelter. As long as we stay in the Lord, we will be able to handle whatever
life brings us. Life is good for those who live in the shelter of the Most
High. There is always rest for the soul of those who live in Christ.
