Great reminders that He faithfully works on behalf of those who love Him. This entire chapter of Psalm 91 is filled with the goodness and power of God. It diminishes what we actually feel in the intensity of the heat. If the heat is severe, the shade is the place we run to.
His Word says if we do that, we will “rest” in the very "shadow of the Almighty." Shadows by definition are a place of protection or covering, they provide relief from the direct heat of the sun. The word “dwell” used in this verse actually means, “to take up permanent residence in.” He reminds us to stay in His presence, for it’s a permanent place of living.
Is it any coincidence that this is the 9-1-1 verse? In whatever troubles we face today, God is the place of refuge we can run to, He is our safe place. He doesn't, He can't, forget us or ignore us. If we belong to Him, His love is too great to leave us on our own. We may not always see it, or feel it, we might forget it’s there at times, or even wonder if He's left us to fend for ourselves in the heat of hard situations of life. But His protection is real. This reminder came…“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1
