Devotional
One of the most essential needs of the human in life is rest. Any wonder people could do anything and even go to any length in search of it. But the truth of the matter is, there is nowhere else to find sincere rest in life except in the shadow of the Lord Almighty. And the Bible is so explicit about the matter. It says in Psalm 91:1,
Key Scripture
Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the AlmightyPsalm 91:1 NLT
Refreshing for the Day
However, it’s not just anybody that finds rest in the shadow of God. It’s only those who live in the shelter and the secret place of God shall find rest in Him. Yes, this is true. It’s not a random condition that might be altered or bent at will. But it’s a fundamental principle that governs the nature and the person of God. The principle comes alive when the succeeding elements are duly observed. So, here is the conclusion of the matter, it only those that live in the shelter of God that shall be admitted into His presence and find rest in Him. They shall not only have an admittance into His presence, but a residence under God’s protection; He will be their rest and refuge for ever. Stay Refreshed!
Note This
Every other thing may promise you rest, but not with the peace of mind. It’s only in the shadow of God that you shall find the true rest.
