Most Favored Place

 Home being the first, how blessed Mister Bill and I are to have a second favorite place to which we retreat often. Of all its loved attributes, none compare to The Place of which the psalmist writes: "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty." (Psalm 91:1). The mere sound of dwelling in God's Shelter and Shadow is inviting. The key principle, however, must not be overlooked: those who put their trust in The Most High God are those who are living close [in relationship] to Him. Somehow, there are many Believers who feel they can boast confidently of God's Shelter and Shadow yet live at arm's length from Him. It just doesn't work that way; The Almighty, The Most High God offers protection and rest only to those who are in intimate fellowship with Him, which comes through obedience to Him. Much like Mister Bill and I seek-out our favorite place to enjoy its wonders, so must we seek God to truly know His Shelter and Shadow; they are the sweet benefits of living close to Him. Truly, it is the most favored of all places to be!
