Psalm 91:1-8 You Are My Hiding Place

Psalm 91:1-8 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 

5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day.,6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

When life's storm appears to never cease, when the sea billows continues to roll,  when the direction to take seems confusing and uncertainty seem to cloud your mind, when the troubles of life appears to rage on, God promises to be your hiding place.

The Psalmist in this text makes this declaration concerning God and Him being a hiding place to run to. "I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Where is your hiding place? Are you riding out life's storm under the wings of Almighty God? Or, are you riding out life's storm in your shelter of self sufficiency?  

God promise to you on today is to shelter you under His wings for it is in Him alone where you will find refuge for under the wings of your faithful God is your hiding place . 

Are you in need of rest from the cares of the world? 1 Peter 5:7-Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Thank You for for being my hiding place. Thank You Lord for being my shelter in life's storms. Thank you Lord for being a very present help in trouble.

Thank You Lord.
