A Secret Place

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD,

He is my refuge and my fortress:

my God;

in Him will I trust.

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,

and from the noisome pestilence.

He shall cover thee with His feathers,

and under His wings shalt thou trust:

His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;

nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;

nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side,

and ten thousand at thy right hand;

but it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold

and see the reward of the wicked.

Because thou hast made the LORD,

which is my refuge,

even the most High,

thy habitation;

there shall no evil befall thee,

neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

For He shall give His angels charge over thee,

to keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee up in their hands,

lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:

the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

Because he hath set his love upon Me,

therefore will I deliver him:

I will set him on high,

because he hath known My name.

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him:

I will be with him in trouble;

I will deliver him,

and honour him.

With long life will I satisfy him,

and shew him My salvation.

Psalm 91

 

Let us be still to hear the whispers of God.

God is the Way of Perfection - (Not so) Wordless Wednesday

God is impressed, not with noise or size or wealth, but with quiet things…things done in secret- the inner motives, the true heart condition.

Charles Swindoll

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.”

Matthew 18:1-6
The English Standard Version

 

 Time to think: it is the source of power.


Time to play: it is the secret of perpetual youth.

Time to read: it is the fountain of wisdom.

Time to pray: it is the greatest power on earth.

Time to laugh: it is the music of the soul.

Time to give: it is too short a day to be selfish.
