WE TRANSFORM BY ABIDING

 

 

Psalm 91 91 

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.”

3 

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.

4 

He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

5 

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

6 

Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

7 

A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.

8 

Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

9 

Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place, (ABIDE) 

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.

12 

In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13 

You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

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.”

 

 

Ps. 91:1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

 

DWELLS - lives continually, this is where I do my business, this is my mindset, this is my calling, this is my hope, this is my framework. It’s where I live! 

 

REST - Abide, like when an eagle rests on the winds underneath its wings. 

 

PSALM 91:1 SECRET PLACE

What is the secret place? 

Psalm 31:20 You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.

 

 

Isaiah 40:29 He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.

30 

Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,

31 

But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

 

 

Ps. 91: He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide/wait under the shadow of the Almighty.

 

REST - Abide, like when an eagle rests on the winds underneath its wings. 

 

 

How to wait

 

God is a jealous God.

Have you ever wanted someones attention, you actually deserve it- and they are distracted. 

 

WE always think of jealousy as a bad thing… but it also can be a good thing.

It wants to protect, it wants to instruct, it wants you to recognize their love and intent for you.

 

Kim in our yard talking to the neighbor… she had a bikini top on with shorts… the guy next door would always want to talk to her on the fence - I was ticked, I told her not to walk over there and talk to him. I was jealous! 

 

“For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God” (Deut. 4:24).

 

God wants all of you!

 

Turn off your phone- silence your soul and mind. Shut down your computer, maybe even turn off the praise music.
