Comfort in the Shade

Psalms 91:1
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Can there be anything better than sitting in the shade on a hot, sunny, Alabama day? I'm sure some of you just said, "Sitting inside in the air conditioning." But seriously... There's not many things or many feelings that are better than finding shade on a hot and sunny day.

The sun could be beating down on your head with the sweat pouring off of you and the comfort of the shade could cool you down. Imagine if someone was there to offer a nice cool glass of water or even a cold glass of southern sweet tea. You can sense the comfort and relief as I set the scene right?

In a similar way this world can beat down upon you. Life can come at you so hot and heavy that you feel as if there is no shelter from it all. No place to rest. No place to find peace. No place to find comfort. But as soon as you think this thought, we come across this scripture found in God's Word.

He tells us that there is a secret place we can go. A place that is hidden, not from people but from satan and his attacks. Tucked away from the sorrows and storms of life. It is in the shadow of the Almighty! No, there may not be a hammock, palm tree or sweet tea in this secret place. It is one filled with grace, overflowing with mercy and covered with comfort of the Holy Ghost.

Are you tired of those storms yet? Are you overwhelmed with life and those hot rays that shine down? Come to the secret place God has prepared for you. It's in the shadow of God. Come and sit in the shade.
