Today I want to talk to you about the secret place.
Psalm 91, the protection chapter, says "He that dwells in the secret
place..." And then it follows with a slew of protections. The idea of a
secret place for protection - in the 50's we had missile fallout
shelters, today the FBI has safe houses for witnesses, or the president
goes to an undisclosed location. Psychologists today talk about the
noise of society, that we are over-stimulated, over-busy, and that
people need a quiet place. We are too stressed out, too worried, far too
in a rush. People have different places they go in worry, fear, where do
you go? God has a secret place for you, and it is the perfect place to
go when you feel unsettled. The secret place... you can dwell there. And
here's the problem, it says "he that dwells." Being a Christian does not
mean you have to dwell here. There are many who do not dwell. Make your
abode so that you can abide in the shadow. Do we know where the secret
place is? Or how do we go in there? Is everyone going
in?
