There Is A Secret Place


There are times when you feel you’re all alone in this world with your own set of problems. Loneliness, Sickness, Loss of a Loved one, Financial Distress, Downhearted, Abandonment, with NO Hope & the list goes on.

The depression sets in, the mind becomes cloudy & your thoughts are all focused on the problems.

The fear of the unknown is overwhelming, and the thoughts of the problem allow YOU to go into a place of doubt & unbelief. This is an arena of whenever your focus has to change & your Beliefs have to kick into overdrive!

There is ONLY one place of ABSOLUTE. It found in the secret place of the most high.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.


Psalm 91

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].

I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!

For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

[Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler.

You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day,

Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.

Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you witness the reward of the wicked.

Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,(
A)

There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent.

For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service].

They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.(
B)

You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot.(
C)

Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness--trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never].

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.

This is as good as it gets! Our Hope, our Trust, & OUR FUTURE (ETERNITY) ARE IN HIS HANDS AS WE LEAN ON HIM KNOWING HE IS THE ONLY ANSWER TO ALL OUR PROBLEMS! IT IS THAT SIMPLE!
