Thought for the Day
Ps. 91: 1 reads, He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. KJV
There is safety, protection and security when you dwell in the secret place of the Most High. He not only sustains you but will not allow any evil to come near you.
Remember before Satan could approach Job he had to get permission. He was restricted in what he could do. He could only go as far as he was permitted. Job 1:10 reads, Have not thou made an hedge about him and about his house, and about all that he has on every side KJV?
But what is this secret place referred to? Great Text Commentaries reads the secret place is the man who dwells in “the secret place of the Most High” is he who ventures his all upon God. With a sure and steadfast trust, with a simple but unwavering faith, he gives himself, his all, into the keeping of God. He surrenders himself to God, and by that very act he is taken near to God; he is put in the secret place of the Most High and becomes one of “God’s hidden ones.” By his act of absolute self-surrender he has attained to that state which the Apostle Paul describes in language very similar to that of the Psalmist—only going a little further than the latter with his imperfect light could go—when he says, “Ye died, and your new life is hid with Christ in God.”
