He who dwells, you remember the scripture talks about abiding in Christ. If we abide in him, his words abide in us. When it talks about dwelling in the shelter of the Almighty, we're not talking about a point of theology. We're talking about a lifestyle. In other words, it's not just a verse you've memorized. It's supposed to be the developing of an ongoing lifestyle of a consciousness, an awareness of the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit. Mad万aju Many people stop short of a divine encounter because they're satisfied with good theology. The word is the invitation to meet the person. This is not supposed to be just a verse I quote. That's valuable. it's supposed to be the endeavor of my heart is the discovery of the manifest presence of God upon me as a surrendered son upon me as a yielded vessel he says he who dwells in the shelter of the almighty shall abide under the shadow of his wings the shadow of the almighty the shadow is a dark place I'll never forget my grandmother, my mom's mom she was losing her eyesight and so many of us would read, I would take turns reading to her from the scripture she would memorize entire psalms and my uncle would memorize books of the Bible, they were just into that memory thing which becomes contagious after a while and I would sit down and I remember she wanted me to read to her a particular book by Corrie Ten Boom …

Besides, your doubt concerning God's power sets up a new god. Do you start in alarm at that statement? It is true, for that which is mightiest in the world is God—but if there is anythingwhich surpasses the power of God—something that is more potent than Omnipotence, that something must be god! I only put the matter thus to show you that you are obliged to believe that God can deliver you out of your present desperate plight, or else you must become an idolater! You must feel that your difficulties and trials are greater than God and, therefore, you deify them! Of course you do not mean to do that! You feel a cold shiver go through you at the bare thought of such blasphemy, yet you practically do it whenever you doubt that God is "able to do this," whatever, "this," may be! Further, to doubt God's power to do "this," whatever it may be, is challenging every attribute of the Divine Character. I could prove this if I had the time, but I will indicate only one attribute of God, that is, His truthfulness. Take such a promise as this, "He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble." Now, if you doubt God's power to fulfill that promise, you practically challenge His veracity! Can you calmly contemplate such a sin as that would be? Yet it seems to me that you cannot avoid committing that sin unless now, by simple faith, you believe that He is "able to do this." But grant that God is Omnipotent, once really accept that Truth of God in your heart and then you will feel that there remains no strait into which you can be brought out of which He cannot deliver you, that there is no temptation which may assail you from which He cannot preserve you, that there can be no position of peril in which He cannot protect you and out of which He cannot bring you unharmed! May the Holy Spirit graciously reveal to us the unsafe, treacherous, boggy pit that would swallow us up if we doubt that God is "able to do this"—and may He enable us to realize that it is safe walking and happy walking when we walk by faith! …

"He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him." Psalm 91:15. THIS Psalm is full to the very brim of exceedingly great and precious promises, nor is our text the least choice of them all. We have here two pearls. I am not sufficient merchantman to be able to say which is the more precious, but I am certain that the two put together are priceless beyond all computation! "He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him." "He shall call upon Me." Prayer is, itself, a blessing. The desire to pray, the disposition to pray, the resolve, the determination to pray—what hopeful, healthy symptoms these are! But to be able to pray—ah, what some might give if they could put forth their soul's strength in this cheering exercise! Then comes the Divine engagement favorably to hear prayer, "And I will answer him." What would some give, especially the lost—those beyond the reach of mercy—if they could but hope that their cry of anguish could meet with a response of pity! That God would answer them, even if it were to relieve, though it might not be to remove their torments! We have this privilege. Prayer is encouraged and prayer is answered! These two are stars which shine in the Christian's sky, lit up by God to lead him to the land where darkness shall be all unknown! …
