He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].
Dear Ones: No Foe Can Withstand! The Almighty One, Our Father God, invites us to live under the shadow of His wings. The imagery that comes to mind is a mother dove hiding her chicks under her wings during a storm. This place of safety and comfort is unique for each of His children. He delights in holding us close to His heart. This not only gives us comfort and protection but gives Him pleasure. Psalm 35:27 confirms, “Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”
Our Almighty Father has no match or equal; no enemy can withstand His power. He does not just want us to visit Him in the secret place, but to dwell there. Dwell means to inhabit; make camp; move in. He prepared a place of safety for us surrounded by His power and majesty. Our Almighty, All-Powerful God, beckons us to come closer to Him and to remain stable and fixed under His care. James 4:8 counsels us to, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”
This psalm of David gives us great comfort in these turbulent times. Our Powerful Father knows that we need Him and has a safe place prepared for us. Consider the goodness of Our Father’s great heart to keep us safe and close to Him.
May you come to understand that no foe can withstand our All-Powerful Father. Let Him comfort you today as you rest under His wings. Draw near to Him as He draws you close to His heart. It is a good day to rest in His everlasting arms. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
