Rest in the Day of Trouble

It is of great importance to note the condition on which Divine protection depends. The condition is that we dwell in the shelter of the Most High.
It is not enough to have "accepted Christ." Taking the four steps of salvation is not a ticket to the continual blessing of God. We must be dwelling in Christ right this minute if we expect to be protected by Him.
How do we dwell in Christ? By looking to Him at all times, for all decisions, under all circumstances. We must live in Him, talk to Him, think about Him, seek His guidance continually. Christ always must be uppermost in our mind.
We must be presenting our body a living sacrifice, setting our mind on things above, giving thanks for every blessing and letting our requests be made known to Him.
Dwelling in Christ is a way of life. In all our ways we must acknowledge Him. If we will keep on acknowledging Christ in the small things we will find that we do the same in great crises. It is in the "small" matters that we forget to acknowledge the Lord, and it in the small matters that we are tripped up.
"Will rest in the shadow of the Almighty." The days ahead in America are going to be tumultuous. There will be turmoil, people running here and there in their confusion. The individual who is dwelling in Christ will have rest. He is living in God’s shadow. He does not fear death or whatever else the future holds for him.
