Psalm 91 speaks directly to everyone's fear and need of safety and security. It is very clear in verse 1 that God's thought of protection for us was at the very forefront of His mind. "He who dwells
in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the
Almighty." When we are in danger we automatically run to seek shelter by covering ourselves with the hope that harm will not come. No guarantees here. But God, on other other hand, promises that if we dwell or abide in His secret place, that place where we meet with God whether it is in a closet, a quiet spot at the lake, or in one of our favorite rooms in the house, He will protect us and keep us from harm as we remain in His presence (shadow).
