The Place of Rest

I want to share with you a powerful key from the very first verse of , the prayer of protection.

Read it with me (boldface mine): He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

The Hebrew word for “dwell” is yashab, which means to sit down, to remain, or to settle.1

So the very first thing that God wants you to do to enjoy His protection is to rest.

His protection, peace, love, and other blessings flow in your life when you are in a place of rest.

Let’s camp on the word dwell just a little more.

Let’s meditate on what it means to rest or “sit down.”

The Bible says that we are seated with Christ at God’s right hand (see , ).

The word “seated” is beautiful—it means that you are no longer standing and working.

Is not a geographical location , but Is a place of Love , a place of revelation , where Jesus and his word throughly reveal to you .

when you find your self focus on God promises .

no matter where u are you are in that secrct Love .

perfect love casting out fear.

Under the old covenant, the priest had to offer the morning sacrifice at 9 a.m., and then remain standing for six hours until after the evening sacrifice at 3 p.m.

Our Lord Jesus was crucified at 9 a.m. and He hung on the cross for six hours until He died at 3 p.m., thus fulfilling the type of both the morning and evening sacrifices (see ).

Hen 10:11-12

Because Jesus became the final sacrifice, the work of the priest is done and he no longer has to stand.

Because our Lord cried, “It is finished!”

at Calvary (), we are today seated in Christ (see ).

We can dwell in the secret place of the Most High—a place of peace, safety, and security—because the blood of our Lord Jesus has paid for every blessing of protection in !

We can dwell in the secret place of the Most High—a place of peace, safety, and security—because of the blood of Jesus.

Now, because of the completed work of our Lord Jesus, we can have free access into the presence of our Elyon, the Most High.

We can abide under the shadow of the Almighty or Shaddai.

These two Hebrew names of God—Elyon and Shaddai—in the first verse of alone help to put our problems in perspective, don’t they?

In and of ourselves, our present challenges may appear insurmountable.

But when we are resting in the presence of El Elyon—God Most High, the possessor of heaven and earth (see )

—and abiding under the shadow of El Shaddai—God Almighty, the all-sufficient One—all of a sudden, our adversities don’t seem so intimidating after all!

My prayer for you is that your perspective of God will be enlarged by the power of His living Word.

Whether you are dealing with a difficult financial situation, a sleep disorder, or plagued by depressive or even suicidal thoughts, my desire is for you to discover a God who loves you, and whose strong hands of protection are over your entire life.

His divine protection, as you will discover in the course of this book, isn’t one-dimensional—it covers every area that concerns you.

—in Christ Let me tell you where the secret place of the Most High is.

The secret place of the Most High is a place where you are in Christ.

Wouldn’t you agree that being in Christ is to be in the safest hiding place?

How did you get to be in Christ?

By receiving the Lord Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior.

Once you are a born-again believer, our heavenly Father sees you in Christ.

You are safe, protected, and secure in the hiding place!

The secret place of the Most High is being in Christ, the safest hiding place.

Remember how Noah was safe in the ark when the floodwaters came?

While Noah was not perfect, God saw him as righteous because of his faith in God (see ).

When the flood came, everyone outside the ark died, but Noah and his family were protected and saved.

Why?

Because they were in the ark, which is a type of Christ, who is our salvation (see ).

The ark didn’t have windows along its sides, only near the roof.

The truth here is that God does not want you to focus on all the darkness, terror, and evil that are around you

The truth here is that God does not want you to focus on all the darkness, terror, and evil that are around you

and in the world.

He wants you to look up and know that His Son is coming back for you.

I want you to see something else: I believe there were times when Noah might have lost his balance and fallen as the storm waters crashed against the ark.

But Noah fell in the ark; he never fell out of the ark.

Similarly, for the believer today, when the devil tempts you and you fall, you don’t fall out of your position in Christ, you are still in Christ.

In the book of Proverbs, it says, “For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again” ().

You see, a believer doesn’t fall in and out of righteousness.

Our righteousness today is a gift from our Lord Jesus Christ (see ).

This means that even though we may fail from time to time because we are imperfect human beings, we are still in Christ our ark and do not forfeit His blessings of protection.

Now, in case you are wondering, does this make someone want to live recklessly?

Certainly not!

I believe that knowing you are righteous in Christ makes you live responsibly and in honor to the Lord (see ).
