Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling (Ps. 91:9, 10).
When the 10 strokes of God were falling upon old Egypt land, no harm came to anyone in a dwelling marked with the blood sign over the door on that terrible night of the firstborn. "When I see the blood, I will pass over you" was the promise (Ex. 12:13). So in the latter days of earth, during the seven last plagues, no plague shall come nigh the dwelling of one of God's children.
In ancient Israel those who fled to the city of refuge to escape the avenger's blood must, for their own safety, remain there until the death of the high priest. His death meant life to them. So it is with the followers of the religion of Jesus Christ. Christ, our high priest, has died for us, and we are safe only "under the blood."
It is those who make the Most High not only their refuge but their habitation who have this promise. They are the ones who dwell in God. They know that "the name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe" (Prov. 18:10).
From the beginning of time, people of faith have really dwelt in God. "Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God" (Ps. 90:1, 2). It is the person who dwells in the secret place of the Most His who abides under the shadow of the Almighty (Ps. 91:1). And to all such, these words of Moses apply: "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms" (Deut. 33:27).
MEDITATION PRAYER: "Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man" (Ps. 108:12).
