Dwelling in the Secret Place

"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." - Psalm 91:1

No other time can two people meet together and share the most intimate thoughts and feelings they have for one another than the time they spend together alone. Jesus directed us to such a place when He said, "when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place". (Mathew 6:6) A "secret place" is a place of protection that is concealed and private. It's a place where we can "abide under the shadow of the Almighty" and experience perfect peace through the presence of the Almighty. However, we sometimes think that we are only able to experience this at certain times in our lives. "He who dwells in the secret place" is referring to a person who spends his entire life dwelling there; a person who, even in the face of the greatest trials of life, is dwelling "in the secret place of the Most High" and their Spirit is solely focused on their Heavenly Father and in constant communication with Him. When Jesus told us to go into our room and shut the door and enter the "secret place" He never told us to come out. Are you dwelling in the secret place?
