Resting in God’s Shadow

“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”
—Psalm 91:1

When the toils of life overtake us, we need a quiet and peaceful place to rest and recharge. No better place exists than in the shelter of God’s abiding love.

The Psalmist understood this when he wrote these words in Psalm 91:1:

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

We need to ask ourselves this day, “Where do we abide?”

Do we abide in God’s shadow? Do we find our shelter from the storms of life in His mercy, grace, and love?

That’s where we belong. That’s where we can find true rest and peace. That’s where we can find genuine safety and protection.
