How to Dwell in the Secret Place of God
Psalms 84: 2 – “My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.”
Have you found yourself in a dark place recently? Do you find yourself struggling to figure out how to pull yourself out from where you are? Do you find the light hard to reach at this point in your life? Do you feel like you are walking around in the dark with your hands out, trying to reach out for some kind of hope and protection? Does it feel like you are in the eye of the storm in your life and holding on for dear life with no shelter to run to? Are you in the middle of a desert in your life and dying to find an oasis?
Later in Psalms 91, we are also reminded that “whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” This passage goes on to say that “he is my refuge and my fortress”. How comforting is it to know that when we are in our darkest places, God is still in the midst right beside us? He is our sanctuary, our quench, and our shelter! Yes, He loves you that much! For today’s meditation, don’t beat yourself up for wherever you may be in life in this moment. Be comforted in knowing that, through God, you have an anchor in life that will never let you down or forsake you.
After the Meditation:
- Sit in silence for a few moments.
- Journal about your meditation experience or any new insights.
- Don’t judge how well you did. All that matters is you did it!
- Thank God and yourself for taking the time to BE STILL in God’s Presence.
- Listen to the meditation again in the evening.
