He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. – Ps 91:1

shelter-from-the-stormIt seems clear from the passage that rest comes from living in the shelter/shadow of the Most High/Almighty.  When I think about rest I think of being able to close my eyes in comfort, peace and tranquility.  There is no anxiousness, no concern; for Someone else is “minding the shop.”  Can I have this all the time?  It seems so for the only condition to finding this rest is by living in the shelter of the Lord.

So I must let God be my shelter everyday.  When He is my protection from my enemies, then how could I be anxious.  It’s a choice, right?  Like a choice to go indoors when the storm approaches.  When my life storms come, I live in His shelter.  I find rest there.  I remember that Scripture says elsewhere that He holds the storm in His hand!
