 'He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty' (Psalm91:1).

How great is the goodness of God to all who trust and fear Him? He shall hide them in the shelter of his presence safe from those who conspire against them (Psalm 31:20). We are the apple of God's eye and he will hide us under the shadow of his wings
(Psalm 17:8). Therefore we must seek and draw near to Him. God's secret place is where all must aspire to be. All who know and have a personal relationship with God will find him to be a refuge and a strong tower of defence in times of trouble. It behoves everyone to seek to know God and have a lasting relationship with him, that they may dwell in His presence and abide with him. Our God is superior to all other powers sovereign above everything. We can find no safer shelter than what the most High provides. God is our Protector and we can rest safely in the shadow of his protection, because we know and trust him. When we love and honour God, we can count on His provision and protection, and with confidence know that he is in control of our present and our future,  and that nothing will happen to us without his approval. Do you seek to be in the bosom of God - His secret place? You must have a close relationship with God and enjoy intimate communion with him, to be admitted in the secret of his presence. God is our 'El Shaddai' - our all Sufficient God, who is able to do all things for his people. It is indeed a delight to abide under His  shadow. Let us seek to live in close fellowship with God and receive the blessings to dwell in his secret place. Let us not run only occasionally to it, but to reside in His secret presence every day. We must also seek to abide in Christ as he abides in us, and know the love of God in Christ Jesus; to dwell there, to whom to live is Christ.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹EC

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
