Dwell in the Shelter of Almighty.

 Dwell in the Shelter of the Almighty

A Reflection on Psalm 91:1-4, Psalm 27:5, and Deuteronomy 33:27

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. (Psalm 91:1)

Dwell in the shelter of the Almighty—not a temporary, fleeting stay,

But a permanent residence, a home that will not fray.

The shelter of His wings, the shadow of His hand,

A place of perfect safety, a refuge in the land.

The shelter—not a house of brick and stone,

But the presence of the Holy One, the King upon the throne.

It is the secret place, the hiding place,

Where we can rest in His embrace.

The Almighty—the One who is strong and true,

Who will see us through, who will make all things new.

He is our refuge, our fortress, our shield,

The One who will never yield.

For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His dwelling; He will hide me in the shelter of His sacred tent. (Psalm 27:5)

Dwell in the shelter—not just in times of fear,

But in the everyday, the mundane, the near.

Abide in His presence, live in His light,

Walk in His ways, both day and night.

The shadow of the Almighty—not a darkness that brings dread,

But the protection of His wings, the safety of His head.

Under His shadow, we are secure,

His faithfulness is our armor, our shield, our cure.

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. (Deuteronomy 33:27)

Dwell in the shelter—and you will not fear,

The terror of night, the arrow that flies near.

You will not be afraid of the pestilence that stalks,

For in His shelter, you are safe from all talks.

So I will dwell in the shelter—not just for a day,

But for all my life, in every way.

I will rest in the shadow of the Almighty,

I will trust in His love, I will abide in His mercy.

Dwell in the shelter of the Almighty—

It is the safest place to be.

In His presence, I am free,

In His love, I am complete.

Amen.
