Scripture Reading:- Psalm 91
Topic:- How To Dwell In God’s Secret Place [3]
Text:- Psalm 91:1
4. Your security will be determined by how much time and attention you give to God and His Word in this life.
It really isn’t difficult to stay in that secret place, that place of protection with God. In fact I can tell you how to do it in just four words.
Attach yourself to God. Go after the things of God. Go after His Word. Make it a priority to spend time with Him every day. Let everything in your life revolve around your relationship with Him. You’ll discover God will always do His part when you turn to Him.
But He has given you a free will and it’s up to you to do your part, which is to attach yourself to Him and depend on Him. You choose to make the Lord your refuge, but then you must also choose to walk it out. “Walking it out” means believing God, rebuking fear, standing on the Word and speaking the promises of God when a fiery dart comes your way.
Or you can choose to yield to fear and let go of your protection. You must decide how you will respond in a moment of crisis. See Psalm 121.
Your security will be determined by how much time and attention you give to God and His Word in this life. That may sound simple, but it’s the truth. The Scriptures talk about “ye of little faith” and only you decide if that applies to you.
If you give God a little bit of your time, you will have little faith and get little results. But when you give God your attention, spend time with Him and His Word, and refuse to believe any other word for the situations you face, God will give you His attention and see to it that you come out all right.
Time with God pays off! When you consistently walk with God and listen to Him (even in the small things) you’ll be prepared if a crisis occurs. You will have no problem hearing and obeying what He tells you to do. And when you are walking in His wisdom, you will always be protected.
Sometimes just knowing which road to take can save your life. So learn to ask the Lord to direct your path each day. See Psalm 25:4.
It’s important to recognize God as your source and your number one means of protection. See Him as your guardian or covering. David understood God’s ability to protect him. In fact he depended on it! See Psalm 121; 3:3.
God can cover you in any situation. You don’t need anyone else covering you when you have Him covering you. People will let you down, but God will never let you down. God alone can rescue you. When you walk with God, trust Him and walk in His ways, you can expect Him to protect you. See Psalm 25:15.
Prayer Point:- Oh Lord God, help me to abide and dwell in Your presence always henceforth by fire, in the name of Jesus Christ.
