The Shelter of the Most High

Words from a friend on:

Psalm 91:1

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.” (NASB)


I long to dwell in His shelter but how?

Our God must have a wondrous house filled with eternal things that shine with an unwavering glory. His tapestries must be woven with pure and unbreakable threads of purpose and perfect justice masterfully intertwined with a richness of mercy and loving-kindness as only He may possibly weave them. The walls must be bright and strong to withstand those who would cause havoc and destruction. Those who would extinguish its illumination and bring nothing but darkness. It must be a place where no one breaks in or steals. (Mt. 6:19-21) Every room in His house richer and more splendid than the most luxuriantly appointed mansion. Their glistening beauty beyond human imagination to conceive and ingenuity to build.
Everyone who dwells in His shelter will have such a place not because they have selfishly built this for themselves but because our Father wishes more than anything else to give such a home to His children. (John 14:1-3; Eph. 3:20-21)


Our prayer:

“LORD, not in any house we have made

with timber, brick or stone,

but in Your house and in Your shade

where we will truly be at home

may we ever abide,

In Christ' precious name. Amen”



If you really want to perform, a home improvement project

ask God for the plans.
