Promises: The Shadow of the Almighty

There is a direct correlation between where we live and how we live. The things that occupy our minds and drive our hearts will determine the state of our being. If we live in the land of fear, we will live with insecurity. If we live in the land of doubt, we will experience continual discouragement. Living in the land of brokenness will lead to a second-shelf Christian life and provide excuses for our sin. But when we hang out under the shelter of the Most High…our situation changes.

Psalm 91:1-2
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Dwelling “in the shelter of the Most High” provides protection from the heat that wears us down. Temptations from within and without. Doubt, anxiety, worry, wanting things that are bigger, better, faster…these things and many more can cause spiritual fatigue. But life in the shelter delivers hope, freedom, and peace.

So…where are you living? Maybe it’s time to move to a better place. When we live in the shelter, we find rest. Then we will say with the psalmist God, “is my refuge and my fortress.” He is the one we trust.

Father, I pray for the person whose mind…whose life…is saturated with the things that result in emptiness. Give them the strength to come home today and dwell in the shelter of the Most High. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

I have written a book called Worn Out By Obedience, purposed to set you on a path of recovery from the heat of spiritual fatigue. You can find the book on Amazon.com.
