GOD'S SHADOW

Psalm 91:1-2 -  He who dwells in the shelter of the most high will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say to The Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust!”
 
 
This verse takes me two ways, but I find that both lead me back to the end of the verse.  My God in whom I trust.  When we get caught up in the busyness of life, it’s easy to forget that God is always with us, always working, and fulfilling the plan He has laid out for us.  Sometimes we are blessed to look around or back and see how He has orchestrated one thing into another to complete the puzzle.  And each time we are still amazed when one door shuts and another opens, like the removing of us from our current job only to give us the opportunity we’ve been seeking.  Yet, sometimes we can’t see Him working.  I’ve often wondered when a slow car pulls out in front of me what might God be saving me or someone else from.  Maybe nothing, but I know God is always working.  The definition of “refuge” is a condition of being safe or sheltered from pursuit, danger or trouble.  The definition of “fortress” is a heavily protected and impenetrable building.  So whenever we are faced with uncertainty, fear, anxiety, or the unknown, we only need to look within ourselves to our God that dwells within us and us in Him.  Like a shadow that surrounds us even when we can’t see it, He is with us.  We are heavily protected and nothing can penetrate through Him that surrounds us.  We are safe from all that comes before us to taunt us because we have a God that never leaves and it’s in Him that I put my trust!
 
 
Lord, I pray that in all that comes before me, that I seek you who dwells within me and surrounds me.  Thank you for your comfort and protection always.
 
 
The shadow of our God is all around us.  Sometimes following behind us, sometimes walking beside us, and sometimes leading us.  But one thing is for sure, it is always there!
