Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. (Psalms 91)
The Ninety-first Psalm contains some marvelous promises that I believe we are going to place our confidence in, in the days to come. But there is a condition, isn’t there? It is that we dwell in the shelter of the Most High.
What does this mean?
It obviously is important; because the inference is, if we do not dwell in the shelter of the Most High, then the promises are not to us.
Lately I have been giving some thought to the three kinds of life we can lead. The original adamic life; the life of delusion; and the resurrection Life of the Lord Jesus Christ.
There are several passage of the Bible that portray a life filled with Christ----more so than is true of most Christians, it appears. But I have not heard them preached very often.
I think what has happened is that the current overemphasis on “grace,” making grace an alternative to obeying the commands of Christ and His Apostles, has had a “leveling” effect on our aspirations. If we are saved by our belief alone, whether or not we press forward in the Divine redemption, then everyone receives the same reward. If this is true, why should we emulate the Apostle Paul and set aside everything that we may come to know Christ?
