Bathe-ing The Scripture In Prayer
Psalms 91:1-2
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Dwell In The Shelter Of Your King
This scroll is presently hanging in a corner, not seen by many, of our family room. I think I will move it to my office where I can see it everyday, as I sit at my desk. It’s amazing how the Lord leads us specifically when we come to him, in earnest, to nurture and deepen our relationship with Him. This scroll is number three, of six, that we have hanging in our home. It is smaller than the others, but bears a most powerful passage of scripture. I have made it a point, to ask the Lord to lead me in the placement of the scrolls in My King ~ His Daughter posts. This one has truly captured my heart! It has caused me to confirm a very important aspect of my position as My King’s Daughter. This is to yield my will to His protection over me, to place myself under His authority, and to dwell moment by moment under His protection. Only then, can I move on to effectively serve My King.
Psalm 91 is a beautiful acknowledgment of gratitude, by the psalmist, of The Lord’s protection over us. It causes my soul to be at peace, and I rest assured of His love for me as I submit to the will of My King who desires to protect me. I find myself un-afraid to place myself under His authority. I am reminded of one of my favorite passages of Scripture, because of the insight I received into the Spiritual Discipline of Submission Unto The Lord (and, As Unto The Lord).
“…be submissive to your husbands, so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. There were submissive to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. Your are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.“ 1 Peter 3:1-6
I anticipate the security of dwelling moment by moment under His protection, as I rest quietly in wait for His direction in my life. I eagerly await further instruction.
