Secret Places:

  We all have places we go to clear our head. Even those who don't know the Lord have places they go to get their minds off the toils of everyday life. It's a place of comfort and peace. Throughout life this place of solace may change.

  Human nature is to search for this kind of place in our lives. It's very easy to get lured into wrong places that may give temporary comfort and peace, but that eventually leads to disappointment, leading to searching in other places.

  The only place we can find the true and lasting peace in our lives is in our relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

    Psalm 91:1, He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. v2, I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God: in Him will I trust.(KJV)

   I've noticed that over the years my special secret place has changed, at times, as far as earthly locations, but my Lord has always given me that special place to meet with Him. A place where I could go and receive peace, comfort, and direction from Him. These places include an old shed in my back yard where I could sit and listen to the Bible being read without distractions, special called weekly prayer meetings at church, walks at different parks and around my neighborhood, and of course, my individual study time in His word.

   Your special secret place of communion with our Lord is more than likely not the same as mine, but you know where that place is.

  I thank God, that He gives us those special places to meet with Him. My prayer is that we visit those places regularly and often.

  Have a blessed week. In Jesus name. Amen
