"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation." Psalm 91
The is no fear for those who live in righteousness and holiness. This is the secret place of the most high. It is the place of sinlessness, the "Holy of Holies". When you dwell in holiness, you have nothing to fear because you are pleasing the Lord in every way. You abide under His protective powers and He ensures that no harm befalls you. He becomes your shield and defender because you have surrounded your life to Him. Adam and Eve went out of the covering of the Almighty by their disobedience, so they realized that they were naked. They became vulnerable to the wiles and works of the devil. As you make up your mind to live in righteousness today, you will live in peace and not worry about events around you because you are under God's protection. God is love and all those who love him must desire to abide under His shadow of righteousness. Make God your habitation today and He shall supply all your needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus.
