DESIRE AND SEEK
Psalm 91

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (Psalm 91:1) The secret place of the Lord is in the Word of God and the Word of God is God. Dwelling in the secret place of the Most High does not happen by accident, it has to be a conscious and deliberate desire from the bottom of your heart and this is evident when David stated in Psalm 27:4, “One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in His temple” Coming and going out of the place of worship is not dwelling in the secret place, it is gaining entrance. It is not enough to gain entrance into the temple, but to dwell in what the Word of God is asking of every believer that enters the temple. Dwelling in the Word of God is doing and living in the Word of God, and that is what separates true believers from believing unbelievers (those that know the word, but do not live by His word). God spoke, and sent Jeremiah in Jeremiah 7:2-3, ““Stand in the gate of the LORD’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah who enter in at these gates to worship the LORD!’” 3 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: “Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.” It is only you and God that know the ways that you have been taking He knows if your ways are in line with His ways. Pastors, priests or the officials in the temple can be deceived, but God cannot be deceived and He will not over look sin and sinning acts. God made it clear to His children that entering into the temple are not what keeps a believer in the secret place, but dwelling in the ways that are in line with the One and only true God. Many are entering into the place of worship regularly and, or, occasionally, but they have yet to start dwelling. Your ways will not make you dwell in the secret place of God, until there is an amendment of your ways. Dwelling in the secret place of God has so much to offer, and that makes it worth seeking it. In the secret place of the Most High, deliverance, preservation, and uncommon protection from the hands of the wicked forces will be the portion of any believer that dwells in the secret place of the Most High. Do you desire to dwell in His secret place like David?
 
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace that will enable you to desire, and to seek dwelling in His secret place.
