God's Words For US
by Cecelia Lester
He who dwells in the secret place of
the Most High shall abide under the
shadow of the almighty . Psalm 91:1 (NKJV)
The Psalmist headed this chapter as Safety in Abiding in the Presence of God.
This verse speaks to me. If I had any doubts about abiding with God, these words would take away all those fearful thoughts.
Most of the time of COVID, I have been house-bound for reasons of health beside Covid. But my various quarantines were for my benefit. I praise God for His watch care over me as I learned the lessons of abiding in him.
The phrase, “under the shadow of the Almighty” remind me that God has been ever-present with me. Yes, I have had frustrations and even anger during these months. God knows what I have faced, the heartache, the disappointments, the uncertainty one faces while being ill. Despite my momentary hard feelings, He has kept me close to Him. For these things, I am very thankful.
During this time of uncertainty, I have been able to maintain my reading of devotions from two devotional books and of journaling one scripture passage each day. I also read our local newspaper to keep up with what is happening here locally. I have cut back my television news viewing to try to discover the cause of my malaise.
A lack of sleep at night is still an issue, but I find myself sleeping in during the day and sometimes falling asleep for “cat-naps.” Despite all these things going on with me, I still feel protected by God.
