FAITH CAPSULE: The word of God is His secret.
Psalm 91
The word of God is not just a story but a secret to be engaged to become unfolded as the light of God navigating the darkness, wickedness of the world.
The word of God is light that gives understanding for one that believes.
Psalm 119:130 informs, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”
Diligently, engage the word with attention for the word to gain entrance into your life.
Also, in reading, know to study the word of God, meditating the word of God continually.
Joshua 1:8 admonishes, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written, in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
The word of God is not just storytelling but getting to know the secret in the word of God, with intention and attention to become penetrated by the word of God.
The word of God is God. (John 1:1)
Carry the word of God, the presence of God, to live life for the glory of God.
Does the word of God enter into you?
Have you allowed the entrance of the word of God into your life?
With God in you, you are in God, the secret place of God to dwell and abide.
Psalm 91 speaks about the experience of those dwelling abiding in the secret place of God, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
Dwelling and abiding in the secret place of God with trust shall take refuge in God.
Having a refuge in God is with assurance for deliverance and preservation in the journey of life.
Taking refuge in God shall have no fear of the wickedness in the day or night.
Psalm 91:7 explicitly encourages the deliverance and preservation dwelling and abiding for one that trusts and hope in the secret place of God, “A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.”
Can you be counted as one standing, not falling, the evidence of dwelling and abiding in the secret place of God?
Make the Lord God as the dwelling and abiding place living life by the word of God the position not to fall by evil.
The evidence not to fall is of being kept by the angels of God.
Know God, not know about God.
One that dwells and abides in the word of God knows God to fear God, the love for God.
Psalm 91:14 points out what it is when one loves God (living life by the word of God), “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.”
The word of God is not just a story but the secret place of God to dwell and abide, to experience God and excel for His glory.
