Find That Secret Place and Rest In Him!

by | May 29, 2025

Psalm 91:1-2,  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.”

Sometimes I think we all need the reminder in the midst of all of the craziness going on around us and in our own lives, that we have security at our fingertips!  He’s with you, He hasn’t gone anywhere, He hasn’t changed, He is faithful and you are secure in His presence.  

It’s easy to panic or become consumed with all of the stuff that you can’t do anything about on your own.  We need Him, every second of every day, and in everything.  To abide, though, you can’t put Him on a shelf somewhere and then pull Him back when things get rough, only to put Him back after things calm down.  He wants you to abide, spend time, get to know Him better, and keep Him first place.  When He is first place, nothing can get to you without passing by Him, so you have the security of knowing that He sees and He will do what is best.  He will use every detail you surrender to Him to work it out for something good that will bring Him glory in and through you.

Trusting Him to be your refuge and fortress can only develop by spending time with Him.  Why would you fully trust someone you don’t really know?  Trust grows as you surrender every area of your life and every person in your life to Him.  I am not sure why we think that if we cling to something or don’t surrender our loved ones to Him, they are better off.  How does that make any sense, and yet so often we try to protect what we need to surrender in order to find His best, not only for us but for those we love.  He loves you and He loves those you love more than you are capable, He knows what is best for each of us.  We need to trust more.  

I would like to encourage you today that whatever you are facing, it’s not a surprise to Him, and it is no match for what He is able to do.  Rest in Him and allow Him to do what only He can do in and through you!
