He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. —Psalm 91:1 ESV
The shelter the psalmist speaks of isn’t made of wood or stone, yet it covers and rescues us from the prevailing winds and storms of life. When the psalmist took refuge in God the Father, he gave words to what had not yet been revealed through Jesus the Son. Hundreds of years later on a cross of wood, Christ fulfilled the covenant God made with His people—to redeem them from the crushing penalty of sin and offer Himself as the Rock and Refuge we can dwell with and dwell in.
Are you putting your trust and your worth in your surroundings? . . . Have you found yourself sheltered under the wrong source of refuge? . . .
Brick and mortar, pillows and throws, swept floors and quiet children . . . our physical environment was never intended to be our true refuge. Turn instead to the unshakable, steady, and strong shelter of our Savior . . . There we abide; there we dwell; there we find rest. 1
