Stand Strong

PictureChoose to dwell and abide under the shadow of the almighty.
 “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.”

  Psalm 91:1-2

I once had a dear lady share with me that when her son was away in the Vietnam War she wrote him a letter and within that letter she wrote out Psalm ninety-one to comfort and strengthen him .  I wonder how many others down thru the ages have found comfort and strength from this Psalm in whatever it was they were going thru.  How many of you might be going thru a trial, a storm, or a season of suffering as you are reading this devotion?  I want to remind you it is not about the power of positive thinking and in no way is it mind over matter.  It is not that we turn inwardly to construct a strength of our own.  But, when we choose inwardly and outwardly to say,” In Him will I trust”  and when we communicate to ourselves, “He is my refuge and my fortress,” we will learn not to flinch no matter what the situation might be. Don't be afraid to remind yourself of these powerful truths again and again.

Webster’s defines flinch: to wince or pull back, as from pain; to draw back.  Verse one says, “He that dwelleth,” which means to tarry or remain and where is it that one is to dwell, in the secret place of the most High. A place of solitude that includes just you and God and when you come to that place you will abide under the shadow of the Almighty. The word abide has the meaning to lodge.  What a beautiful portrait of God the Father caring for His children. We need to learn not to flinch (or draw back) but to dwell and abide in Almighty God. God is worthy of our trust.

Our days seem to grow more and more darker with each passing moment. We look around and as Christians we don't recognize our own country. Our leaders and their philosophies and policies leave us heartbroken as they lead us down a path that takes us further and further away from God.
Don't grow bitter- God is still on the throne and His Word is as true and powerful as ever. Stand strong upon the Word of the Living God.
