In the Shadows
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most-High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.”
Psalm 91:1
you have a secret place of prayer? Is there a sanctuary where you can pour your heart out to God?
We assemble for public worship, and it brings us great joy; but our deepest heartfelt moments often happen when we are alone with God. It is there that we abide in the shadow of the Almighty. There can only be a shadow when something or someone is there to make it. To be in the shadows of the Almighty means that God is near.
But, you might say that even when you try to get alone and pray, the only shadow that you can see is from the thing that worries you. The key is In the word “abide.” Stay long enough in the sanctuary of God that the shadow of the Almighty will completely swallow the darkness of your fear.
The Gospel song is comforting:
“Has the darkness of night settled round you
Has your hope and your faith wavered too?
Standing somewhere in the shadows you’ll find Jesus,
He’s the Friend who always cares and understands.
Standing somewhere in the shadows you will find Him
and you’ll know Him by the nail prints in his hand.”
Grace and Peace, Rev Ray
