Call To Me

Dear Precious Friends,

As we wake up to a new day and the many incredible blessings God gives us as His children, I pray we put as our top priority spending time with Him. He reminds us in Psalm 91:1 Make time to dwell in the secret place with the Lord. He says call to Him and He will show us great and mighty things that we do not know, that can only come from time spent with the Lord. He tells us whatever troubles we face today, God is our place of refuge we can run to, He is our safe place. Is there any coincidence this is the 9-1-1 verse?

"Strong discernment comes from time spent in the secret place with the Father.

GOD promises to reveal things to us in prayer that we couldn't get from any other source but HIM.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty

Psalms 91:1

This Psalm reminds us of the power that is available to us if we dwell, tarry, abide, sit, remain, hangout, or spend time in the secret place of the Most High. This Psalm encourages us strongly to abide in Him, because all we need for all the situations in our lives, He has taken care of (Ephesians 1:3). The psalmist was able to encourage himself that he would be delivered from the various frightening attacks of the wicked. I know sometimes we feel frightened and overwhelmed with the challenges we face, but in the midst of it all, God's deliverance will show up (Isaiah 40:29-31). He can do what He did for David, but only if we live a life that includes and involves being in the secret place of the Most High. In a day where we run to everything and everyone for answers, God says run to Me first. It is so easy to become saturated with information about Him, and not know Him in the power of His resurrection (Philippians 3:10). Satan knows if he can keep us busy with doing good things, we will become weak. Our strength and deliverance comes from Him, verse 14…"I will rescue him, I will protect him." So why not dwell, stay, and rest in the secret place of the Most High (Psalm 91.1).

The verse goes on to say…He is someone you can trust…He is trustworthy. He can be depended on. If He can make galaxies larger than the sun and keep them in space in the right position and right rotation, then He can be trusted. Verse 3 tells us what is ours if we abide. Surely He will, and He shall, not He may. He is absolutely able to meet our needs. I encourage you to read this Psalm so you can be reminded of all He promises to do for those who He knows by name. When we think of all that He You can know Him as Savior only, or choose to abide in Him, so you can know Him as Shepherd. A good shepherd takes care of all his sheep, none go lacking. You can be assured that no weapon formed against you will prosper. No matter how piercing the attacks may be or feel, His Word is sharpener than any two edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). Trusting in Him and His Word is all we need, to bring us through.

We might be in a situation right now, where we want to give up, because the emotional or physical pain is too much. Verse 11 says, "He will give His angels charge over you." Also Verse 13 says, "You will be able to tread upon the lion and the cobra, you will trample the great lion and the serpent." It could be trouble in your marriage, with your children, aging parents, or finances; no matter what it is, if you are abiding, the Psalmist says, you will find refuge under His wings.

I want to challenge us all (I always share what I need to hear) to make a commitment today to dwell daily in His Presence. Identify a daily time that we can spend in worship and praise (Ephesians 5:18-19), and we will be able to realize and enjoy His deliverance in our life. Satan will do everything he can to distract us, try to have us jump on our computer, scroll social media, do tasks first,... THIS IS OUR TOP PRIORITY.. Time dwelling in His Presence.

"With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation." Ps 91:16
