Dwelling in the Shelter of the most High.

 

In Psalm 91 verses 1-2 we read: "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in tha Shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, "My refuge and my Fortress. My God in whom I trust".

It is wonderfull to know that we can have this kind of trust of which the Psalmist writes here. If we dwell it says. When ever there is an "if" in a sentence it means it´s  conditional. If your dwell in the shelter of the Most High, than we will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

Many people want the blessing of being under the shadow, the protection of the Almighty, but they do not like to dwell in His shelter. Dwelling place is where a person lives.

I would like to ask you something do you know how to find the shelter of the Most High?

We can find it in Jesus Christ. If we come to Jesus and invite Him into our life, He becomes our shelter, than we can say: My refuge is my God in whom I trust as the psalmist says in these two verses..

May God bless you

YOU CAN OUTRUN CHARIOTS
by Gary Wilkerson

Jezreel was known as a city of chariots. It excelled in warfare because of its
vast fleet of iron vehicles made for swift movement in battle. Chariots
represent the strength of man. They signify the power to speed ahead with great
agility, the ability to accomplish something through a powerful, dominating
resource.

Today there is a "chariot lifestyle" — one of comfort and ease, where all our
needs are provided. If we need something, we write a check for it. If we want to
do something, we go ahead and do it.

To a Christian, the chariot lifestyle can have great appeal. In the world's
standard of success, we see impressive "chariots" and "stallions." These are
the means, the material wealth, that provide people with ease, security and
comfort at all times.

But the servant of God does not seek those things primarily. Instead, he seeks
to obey his Master's voice and pursue the concerns of His kingdom. The
Christian learns early in his faith walk that by pursuing the Lord first, "all
these things will be added to him" (Matthew 6:33).

This same believer sometimes may find himself without the needed resources to
do certain things for his family. He doesn't see his calling or ministry being
fulfilled, so he is tempted to think, "The resources are out there, and the
world is using them to great effect but I don't have any of them. I need them
to accomplish God's work. How can I get hold of them?"

Elijah knew better than to look to the world's resources. Imagine the scene as
he addressed King Ahab. There stood the king, perched high in his brilliant
chariot, towering over the lowly prophet. Yet Elijah spoke boldly to Ahab:
“Prepare your chariot and go down” (1 Kings 18:44, ESV).

Next we read, "The hand of the Lord was on Elijah, and he gathered up his
garment and ran before Ahab to . . . Jezreel" (1 Kings 18:46). God's man outran
a chariot over a distance of many miles! How did Elijah accomplish this? The
phrase "gathered up his garment" means, essentially, “to gird up your
loins” which means that he prepared himself.

The apostle Paul tells us we have been called by God to run a race. Peter
refers to this race also when he tells us to gird up the loins of our mind.
He's saying we need to prepare ourselves for the contest by reinforcing our
belief and trust in the Lord. When you see chariots in front of you carrying
people swiftly toward their goals, don't despair. Do not be dismayed at the
power they have and you lack. God has a different way for you. When you set
your eyes on the Father and let His powerful hand come upon you, you too can
outrun chariots.

I would like to share an email I received from a dear Friend

Please take this challenge with me.
I found these12 points in my Joyce Meyer Bible.  I believe we should read them out loud every day for 40 days while looking at ourselves inthe mirror.  Please consider taking this challenge with me.  Let’s try to get as many women to take this challenge with us. I really believe that if we can take the time to write down the positivechanges as they occur using a journal or notebook we will see incredible results.  As you start on your road to discovering the strong woman of God inside of you, I am confident these words will not only change you but will also change the way others see you too.  Are you ready to take this challenge with me?  Are you ready to see what happens when you truly believe what you are now saying about yourself?

Not sure where I heard this but it’s a good thought to start with too:

“We never have enough information to judge anyone. 

Maybe we should have compassion instead.”

Here are a few thoughts that reflect a wholesome, God-centered self-image:

1.    I know God created me and He loves me.

2.    I have faults and weaknesses, and I want to change.  I believe God is working on my life.  He is changing me bit by bit, day by day. While He is doing so, I can still enjoy myself and my life.

3.    Everyone has faults, so I am not a complete failure just because I am not perfect. 

4.    I  am going to work with God to overcome my weaknesses, but I realize that I will always have something to deal with;therefore, I will not become discouraged when God convicts me of areas in my life that need improvement.

5.    I want to make people happy and have them like me, but my sense of worth is not dependent on what others think of me.  Jesus has already affirmed my value by His willingness to die for me. 

6.    I will not be controlled by what people think, say or do.  Even if they totally reject me.  I will survive.  God has promised never to reject me or condemn me as long as I keep believing (see John 6:29). 

7.    No matter how often I fail, I am not a failure unless I quit trying. Therefore, I will not give up, because God is with me to strengthen and sustain me.  He has promised never to leave me or forsake me (see Hebrews 13:5). 

8.    I like myself.  I don’t like everything I do, and I want to change – but I refuse to reject myself.  

9.    I am in right standing with God through Jesus Christ. 

10.God has a good plan for my life.  I am going to fulfill my destiny and be all I can be for His glory.  I have God-given gifts and talents, and I intend to use them to help others. 

11.I am nothing, and yet I am everything!  In myself I am nothing and yet in Jesus I am everything I need to be. 

12.     I can do ALL the things I need to do, and EVERYTHING that God calls me to do, through His Son, Jesus Christ (see Philippians 4:13).

This is something we all can  benefit from,

In the love of the Lord Jesus
