Under the safety of His wing

"He who dwells in 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

This piece of scripture is almost as if Jesus was reading it aloud, about His Father. Whether that is true or not, they are words that he wants all of us to accept and own for our walk with Him. It is often said that, the safest place to be in a storm is in the eye of it, and this Psalm reflects that; we are safe when we dwell in the secret place of the Most High. Like a swan that hides its young under its wing to protect them from danger, so Our Father does the same with us - when we take refuge in Him (v4).

In verses 9 &10, we read: 'Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, 10No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling' There is a condition here, if we make Him our refuge, He in return, will protect us from any danger. No disaster will come upon us even if it is all around us. When God protects His children, He places angels around us and our property, and protects us and they hold us up in their hands. In fact, there will be absolutely nothing to be frightened about (v11 & 12).

Let us not forget though, we have an enemy, and like any enemy, he will do all he can to prevent us winning or gaining ground. But Satan's fieldcraft is not as efficient as God's is. He knows all things and is able to counteract anything that the devil may try and put into place. A word of warning here. God will only do this if, you are in a relationship with Him and, if you're living the righteous life that He had planned for you. If these conditions are not in place, you may suffer many attacks and have to handle them alone, and that is not easy. 

Therefore, ensure Jesus is your Commander in Chief and that you are walking steadfast with Him. Get rid of anything that will try to entangle you (Hebrews 12:1-2) and in the strength of the Holy Spirit, run to Him to the Throne of Grace, spending time in His refuge until it is safe to come out again.

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now
Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today. In Jesus' Name. Amen
