Psalm 91:1 - Living in Gods Presence.

Psalm 91:1 (NLT) Those who live in the 
shelter of the Most High will find rest in the 
shadow of the Almighty.  

COMMENTARY PEARLS

   When you were a kid, did you ever have a 
hiding place, a place you would run to when you 
were afraid or wanted to be alone? God wants to 
be your hiding place. The good news is that you 
can retreat to this hiding place wherever you 
are. 
   Psalm 91:1 tells us, He who dwells in 
the secret place of the Most High shall abide 
under the shadow of the Almighty (NKJV). 
   It is worth noting that the blessings 
promised in this psalm are not for just anyone. They 
are specifically given to believers"and not 
just believers in general but believers who 
specifically meet the requirements in it. Psalm 91 is 
full of conditional promises. God promises to do 
certain things for us, hinging on our doing certain 
things that are required of us in this psalm. 
   We have a relationship with God because 
we have put our faith in Jesus Christ and have 
turned from our sin. But are we living in constant 
communion and fellowship with God? That is so 
important. Many people are not. They are not dwelling 
consistently with God. But the Lord wants you to dwell in 
the secret place of the Most High. 
   He wants you to be like Mary, who sat at 
the Lords feet when He came to visit her home 
in Bethany. There is a time for busyness. There 
is a time for work. And there is also a time to 
worship. Unfortunately we sometimes substitute 
perspiration for inspiration and work for worship. 
   If you do that, it only will be a matter 
of time until you spiritually burn out. You 
cant give out more than you take in. YOU NEED TO 
LIVE IN COMMUNION WITH HIM. You need to dwell in 
the secret place of the Most High. [Greg Laurie

   We never have to be lonely, because God 
is always present with us. TO DWELL IN HIS 
SHELTER IS TO MAINTAIN CONSCIOUS CONNECTION WITH HIM 
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. We can maintain it by offering 
short prayers, such as the name of Jesus or You 
are my refuge or I trust you, Lord. We can also 
schedule short breaks in the day to meditate on him - 
his goodness, his love, his faithfulness.  
   The psalmist says to God, "I am always 
with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide 
me with your counsel, and afterward you will 
take me into glory" (Psalm 73:23, 24). God is 
always, always there, close enough to hold us by the 
hand, eager to guide us, promising to take us into 
glory. How amazing it is that right now you are 
with him. 
   God is our refuge and fortress, the 
Friend who always stands with us, and he longs for 
us to seek his presence. [The Daniel Plan
