Where do you live? We moved from 19325 Glen Hollow Circle in Monument to 7815 Antigua Point in Colorado Springs, a process that’s ongoing. But where do we really live? Psalm 91 has a suggestion:

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (Psalm 91.1, NKJV)

Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place… (Psalm 91.9, NKJV)

What does it mean to live in God? Maybe the answer is right there in Psalm 91:

I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” (Psalm 91.1, 2, NKJV)

It’s an attitude of trust, and if we live in God, Psalm 91 has some promises:

• Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
• And from the perilous pestilence.
• He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge;
• His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
• You shall not be afraid
  • of the terror by night,
  • Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
  • Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
  • Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
• A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. (Psalm 91.3 – 8, NKJV)

It continues:

• No evil shall befall you,
• Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
• For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
• You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. (Psalm 91.10 – 13, NKJV)

The psalm concludes:

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.” (Psalm 91.15, 16, NKJV)

“He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him.” Jesus promised the same thing:

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. (John 15.7, NKJV)

There it is again. “Abide” – where do you live?

“Ask what you desire…” I recently asked God for a man to disciple, and one came out of the clear blue. I’m praying for lasting fruit for my new friend.

Now I’m asking to get this house business closed out.
