THE SPIRIT wrote in Psalm 91 concerning safety of Abiding in the Presence of Our Heavenly Father:
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”
As we spend quality time reading, studying, and meditating on FATHER’S Word which contains HIS promises to us, we will abide in HIS Presence. Those who get busy with the world’s priorities and cease spending quality time with FATHER will ultimately distance themselves from HIM and HIS benefits. Our priorities are determined by our own choices thus we are accountable for our future on this earth. If we get too busy with the world, we become void of HIS Word in various areas of our life and our faith becomes of none effect. One of our goals at this ministry is to promote the correct priorities on a daily basis. Those who read this site daily are embracing the Love walk and are surely increasing in faith resulting in moving toward the safety of abiding in HIS Presence.
9 Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.
As we actively acknowledge and stand on HIS Promises, evil will not gain a foothold in our life. There are those of us who have in some respects failed to stay fully under the shadow of THE ALMIGHTY and we have paid the price. I look back and reflect on those times when I needlessly dealt with challenges because I got “too busy” and failed to keep proper perspective. Yes, I paid the price. I then repented and reprioritized my focus and moved back under HIS Shadow and then said “What was I thinking?”
14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.”
Consider the importance of FATHER’S statement in verse 14. When you Love somebody, you want to spend quality time with that person. When FATHER sees our Love for HIM, HE will respond by delivering us in the time of trouble. It is not out of duty I spend time with FATHER, it is because I Love HIM and am grateful for HIS deliverance from adversity. HIS Love for me has been expressed over and over throughout my life as HE has protected my from the various attempts by the enemy to bring forth death and destruction. HIS grace and mercy compensated for my immaturity… thankfully!
