Dwell There – God Calling 09/18 | Women of Christianity

“My soul was filled and overwhelmed with light, and love, and joy in the Holy Ghost, and seemed just ready to go away from the body. I could scarcely refrain from expressing my joy aloud, in the midst of the service. I had in the mean time, an overwhelming sense of the glory of God, as the Great Eternal All, and of the happiness of having my own will entirely subdued to his will. I knew that the foretaste of glory, which I then had in my soul, came from him, that I certainly should go to him, and should, as it were, drop into the Divine Being, and be swallowed up in God.” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards

Dwell There – God Calling 09/18

Published September 18, 2012 |

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. – Psalm 91:1

Hidden in a sure place, known only to God and you. So secret that no power on earth can even find it.

But, My beloved children, you must dwell therein. No fitful visit, a real abiding. Make it your home. Your dwelling place.

Over that home shall My Shadow rest, to make it doubly safe, doubly secret. Like brooding mother-bird wings that Shadow rests. How safe, how sure, you must feel there.

When fears assail you, and cares trouble you, then it is because you have ventured out of that protecting Shadow. Then the one, the only thing to do is to creep back into shelter again. So rest.

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings. Psalm 17:8
