Psalm 91:1 says: He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty (whose power no foe can withstand).
(Ps. 91:1)God has a secret place where we can dwell in peace and safety. The secret place is the place of rest in God, a place of peace and comfort in Him. This secret place is a "spiritual place" where worry vanishes and peace reigns.
It is the place of God's presence. When we spend time praying and seeking God and dwelling in His presence, we are in the secret place.
We Need To Dwell There
The word "dwell" means "to make one's home; reside; live." When you and I dwell in Christ or dwell in the secret place, we do not just visit there occasionally, we take up permanent residence there.
In the New Testament, one of the Greek words translated "dwell" is the same Greek word translated "abide" in John 15:7 (NKJV) where Jesus says, "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you."
If you and I abide in God, it is the same as dwelling in God. As a matter of fact, the Amplified Bible says it this way: If you live in Me (abide vitally united to Me) and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.
(John 15:7 AMP)In other words, we need to be firmly planted in God. We need to know the source of our help in every situation and in every circumstance. We need to have our own secret place of peace and security.
We need to rely on God and trust Him completely.
