"He who dwells the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD. 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust." Psalm 91:1-2 NKJV
The psalmist mentions 'The Secret Place'. Where is this? Well, to start with, if you are a believer in Jesus, it is where you want it to be. It is that very special place that you go to and spend time reading about Jesus, talking to Him and allowing Him to speak back to you. It can be a room, your car, a walk with your dog in fact, anywhere. It is somewhere where you know you will be safe and have access to God through prayer.
Why is it secret? Well to some people being a Christian can be dangerous, especially if you are in a non-Christian believing country. There are many dangerous places where Christians can lose their life or face long prison sentences just for confessing Jesus. It is not always other countries; some believers live in a family where Christianity is frowned upon and their safety or welfare can be at risk. Therefore, they need a secret place to meet with Jesus and probably others so that they can support each other. God provides a place where people can hide there, dwell there and be protected by His everlasting love.
Warren W Wiersbe says: "The most important part of a believer's life is the part that only God sees - the' hidden life.' God is our refuge and strength. He hides us that He might help us and then send us back to serve Him in the struggles of life"
The Wiersbe Study Bible - Warren W Wiersbe
What, if anything, are you hiding from? What help do you need at this time? Perhaps you need to allow God to hide you away in His blessing until, you are ready for the ordeals of life. Think for a moment, if some knew what you were really like or from where you have been, they may not want to know you. But God knows everything and still loves you. This is something to really hold on to. There is nothing wrong in hiding in Jesus until you are ready to get back into the fight. Soldiers need R&R (Rest & Recuperation). They suffer PTSD, depression and all sorts of problems, especially when they finally leave the services. You are a soldier of the Living God and you are on active service. This means, you will be shot at by the devil and his team. Therefore, you need God and, should never be ashamed to admit that you need help at the moment.
If you need help, meet Jesus in The Secret Place. You'll be glad that you did, I can assure you!
