Abide under the shadow of the Most High

Psalm 91: 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Sometimes it can be suddenly dark in your life. Something serious happens and you plunges into a dark period. Of day it is suddenly night for you and you do not know what to do. You have sorrow, great sorrow for what happened and you can not move them on. People may try to encourage you, but it does not help. Then there is only one place you can be and that's the secret place of God. Because no matter how dark the night is, can you stay with him, and he covered you with His shadow.

When God covers you with his shadow. you are not you directly free from your sorrow and misery. But God will surround you and give you His love, however difficult that those moments can be. Because you can ask God, you blame God and do not understand him. These are human reactions, and it is even allowed in that period. But when you do it in His shadow, you speak out to him. You can say anything to God and pour out your heart before Him and He will cover you with His Spirit. He will give you peace because that is ultimately be found in Him, there alone is rest for your soul.

God knows himself better than anyone what it's like to go through difficult times. When the man turned away from Him, God felt pain. When Jesus went to the cross, when He was despised and even had to descend into hell, God will have felt the pain. The guilt is heavy, which makes ourselves in our lives. The pack of sin is a burden, we see everything that happens on earth. And God knows, He knows what we go through and therefore he extends his shadow on us and we can take refuge in him.

Because despite the pain, there is the work of the Son. He has ensured that the misery will not remain so forever. Then he descended to hell and death conquered, He will stand in our place. But Jesus knows the burden of sin, He bore all on his shoulders. But He did it out of love for us. And with His loving arms he would surround us, especially in times of loss and severe pain. He heals the wounds and anoints our hearts with His blessed hands. Deep wounds he puts his fingers and heavy tears he dries.

Therefore, we should go to him with our pain, our sorrow and with everything we do. The pain will continue, but will soften. And if we do not sometimes know where to go, then there is that Shelter. The Shelter where we can cry, we do not have to stay strong and where we can cry out to God. Indeed, he will end up everything for the best times. Eventually everything will be new, without pain and without sorrow. We may through the tears sing back: I must take refuge in the shelter of the Most High and stay in the shadow of the Almighty.
