"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty" (Ps.91:1 NIV) That dwells is a participle. So that puts a different spin on it, one a little deeper. It translates "dwelling" or "inhabiting." One who is dwelling in the shelter- the covering of the Most High - of God. Now make it personal - You who are dwelling under the covering of God. Whooo! Stop right there. Get there. Go there. You have the capability of being right there. Nothing else matters, but you dwelling under the covering of God. That gives you rest.
Yes, you long for rest. Yes, it is available. Rest-don't worry about all the stuff around you. There is no better place to be but dwelling under God's covering. Do not allow situations or events or people, places or things to interfere with you getting there - dwelling. My God. "Oh what peace we often forfeit, oh what needless pains we bear. . . "
You see, having a Bible open to Psalm 91 has no power. Having it in your heart holds the key to power. Ponder the awesome idea of dwelling under God covering. You see, whatever you go through you can handle it, because of your position. type to you later.
