SECRET PLACE

Psalm 63:7  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

      We often think of being in the shadow of the Lord’s wings as a place of hiding. We hide from the storms. We hide from the enemy.  These are things that would cause fear under normal circumstances.  But God says, “Don’t worry about it; hide here under my wings and I will keep you safe. We have no reason to fear when the Lord is hiding us.  No one would ever find us unless God allowed it to happen.  So we can rejoice in the shadow of his wings.  Because he is GOD ALMIGHTY and he is watching over us.

Psalm 91:1-2  He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Not only is being under the shadow of his wings a place of protection but it is a place of intimacy. (The word intimacy has several synonyms: closeness, familiarity, close relationship, togetherness, mutual affection.) A place where you are alone with him. God desires us to spend quality time with him. This could be the place we go when we sit quietly, thinking about God’s goodness. We think the shadow of his wings is a place that we enter when there is a storm. Then we leave and do our own thing. But if we dwell in the secret place or we live in a place of being close to God, we will have a relationship. Getting to the place of intimacy with God will create trust.

It is important to find the time to sit quietly in worship and alone time with the Lord.

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
