Today’s is a short one…
suddenly realised while doing my quiet time how many of my favourite scriptures speak about the perspective we have as a child of God.
I noticed how we are constantly surrounded by God, if we will take a moment to read what He says about position in Him.
My favourite one for today turns out to be Psalms 91:4 “He will cover you with His feathers, under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.”
I love this verse… it feels like all I have to do is get close, cuddle under Him in tenderness (it’s a really intimate place under the wings, reserved only for the chicks of a mommy bird), in this soft place and He, just by being who He is-without changing position or starting a battle – is doing everything else for me, this for me is safety and security.
He is the refuge I need, providing me love and comfort, a hiding place and safety; while I’m receiving and filling up on those He is busy being faithful to me:
1 – He is providing love, comfort, a hiding place, safety
2 – I am able to be shielded while receiving this infilling from Him.
3 – He is creating in me a barrier (building a rampart) of strength that at any time I need to I can return into this refuge, while the enemy is waging war against me outside I can be filling up on Him in this secret place.
I can’t resist saying it reminds me of my all time favourite, first-time ever memorized scripture:
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.”
Psalms 23:5 NKJV

He is always good, He is always faithful, He is always on our side ready to fill us to the overflowing of whatever we need for that day.
Thank You Lord for Your goodness, Your faithfulness, teach us Lord to sit and enjoy this moment of sitting in stillness and intimacy with You that we may know You more. Thank You Lord
