For the next few weeks I will be trying to do a more in depth study of Psalm 90. Each day I will thoroughly study one verse at a time and try to fully experience God's comfort in a radical way. After reading this chapter I knew that I had to study it more, I had to go in depth into God's Word and really feel Him speak to me and take care of my life! Psalm 91:1 here we go!
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty"
- Psalm 91:1(NIV)
Dwells: (a permanent residence) This means not just dropping by and saying "hey" to God once a week at church on Sunday but permanently living in His Word and in the lifestyle He has blessed for you.
Shelter: (a dwelling place that is very protected) God is providing for you not just a home but a place where no storms, no fires, for earthly troubles will ever reach you. No troubles at all will ever reach you. He is fully protecting you!
"will rest.." - as you are dwelling in Gods protective refuge for you, He will not make you work, he will not make you labor or worry about anything. He will tell you to rest! to TRADE your fears for faith. That sounds like a pretty good deal to me!
"..in the shadow" - where are you resting? In a shadow? Doesn't that sound dark and unGodly? Look at whose shadow you're resting in! "..in the shadow of the Almighty". God is light, there is no darkness in Him. You are actually resting in a heavenly light but what is explained as a shadow for you are hidden from all worldy distresses. No one will see God's light until they see God for who he truly is so you are fully protected in His shadow but fully protected in His light at the same time!
