  “ 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.” Psalm 91 : 1 - 2 KJV Shadow is synonymous to the covering or support received from someone higher, bigger, and more resourceful than oneself. Little wonder why the presidential palaces and the networks of business tycoons breed sycophants and praise singers. People sing in the parades of shining shadows because of their proven records of support through their material benefits. Unfortunately, like those who perished with Pharaoh in the Red Sea because of their trust in his chariot of horses, the shining shadows are grossly unreliable in the long run. Whereas, the almighty God provides a reliable refuge and secured strength to those who do not lean on their own understanding. The secret shadow of the Almighty God is a safety net for (1) submission to the counsel of God; (2) humility in the pl...

  “ He who dwells 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 I will trust.”” Psalms 91 : 1 - 2 NKJV When Lot decided for the well-watered plain of Jordan or Sodom and Gomorrah, there wasn’t any doubt in his discretion or choice for the sweet place over the secret place.

Whereas, “ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men (I Corinthians 1 : 25 )”, God’s supposed loose lane is actual...

  “He who dwells 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 I will trust.”” Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ As the present world suffers end-time devastation, there is an uprising of diverse needs in refugee camps around almost every nation. And as the psalmist puts it, the type of devastation varies from secret snare, perilous pestilence, traumatic terror, angry arrow, and deadly destruction. Even while the Red Cross vainly struggle to arrest these devastation at the national scales, there are numerous unreported devastation at communal, institutional, family, and personal levels that often pursue everyone on the run across different mountains for deliverance. Unfortunately, many people do run from fry pans into fire in search of refuge from the available mountains of deceit. Whereas, no matter the scale and level of devastation facing life, the only reliable refuge is the...
