Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
When life is draining and there seems to be no time or place to rest, these words are reassuring, comforting, and encouraging. When things appear to be their worst, I tend to get a bit negative, and most of us are like that. Our natural tendency is to get down and miss out on what God may be doing in our situation.
When I find myself in these negative places, my goal becomes reprogramming my mind to fend off the negative and say of the Lord that He is my God in whom I trust, just as the writer of this Psalm did.
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” – KJV Translation of Psalm 91:1-2
