Psalm 91 - God's Secret Hiding Place - Devotional Scripture




He who dwells 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 I will trust.” Ps 91:1-2


God has a secret hiding place, and He invites each of us to join Him there. He does not invite us to visit. The promise is to those who “dwell” there. For those who live there. It becomes our address. God invites us to pack up and move to His secret place. Secret places imply honesty and trust. We cannot join God in His secret place unless we are willing to be transparent and honest with Him.

The key to moving to the secret hiding place is a total surrender to the Holy Spirit and the will of God for our lives. This decision controls our actions and changes our outlook. As we obey, God meets us in His secret place (John 14:21). Our continual choice to surrender fully to Him results in His continual strength to do so.

God's response to those who are living in the secret place of the Most High is found is Ps. 91:14-15.

Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.

Because you've set your love upon God, God said, "This is what I'm going to do for you: deliver you, set you on high. I will answer you. I will be with you in trouble. I will deliver and honor you."
