God is only as big as you believe Him to be. Do you believe that He is as big as your secret sin? Do you believe that your God is bigger than your secret dream? Your answer is yes, or no. Your God, created the Universes with one Word. He breathed entire galaxies with one exhale! He intricately weaved you together, formed you in your mother's womb, and saw every fiber of your being before you even had eyes! To somewhat grasp how much he loves you and cares about the details of your life, read Psalms 139. Oh! How He loves you friend! He is interested in you, your secrets, and your dreams. Are you interested in His secrets? His dreams for you?
- He Who Dwells in the Secret Place
Psalms 91 is my life scripture. I am brought back to it by the question of, "Do you believe God is bigger than your secret sin? Do you believe He is bigger than your secret dreams?"
From the Amplified Psalms 91:1-2 reads this way;
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust! (emphasis mine)
About 10 years ago, I was in a deep state of depression. When all I had left was God, He met me on the hardwood floor of my bedroom in North Portland. He had never left. He had been waiting for my return. I am a prodigal daughter. You are a prodigal son or daughter. We all return at some point. My coming home to His arms and His secret place was in 2004. He had me right where He wanted me, with nothing left but Him.
In those dark, secret, moments with the Lord, He let me know that there are no secrets once we get to the secret place. He holds nothing back from those that are seeking after Him. Nothing. If you need an answer, ask. His answer may not come on your timetable or how you expected, but it will come.
He hides away sound and godly Wisdom and stores it for the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with Him); He is a shield to those who walk uprightly and in integrity. Proverbs 2:7
As I bowed before the Lord on my knees, there is just something about this posture of being on your knees, He revealed to me hidden mysteries and treasures so great. God spoke to my heart and said there is nothing secret about the secret place, I just needed to get to the secret place. There, God blasted me with His presence, wisdom, understanding, dreams, and His secrets for my life.
Notice in Psalms 1 it says if we abide in the secret place we remain stable and fixed, whose power nobody can withstand! I encourage you to get to the secret place, get stable, and bask in His presence and power! It goes on to say that you can lean on, rely, and trust Him confidently! Is there a secret sin that is holding you back from living in His abundance? He is bigger than your secret sin! Do you have a secret dream buried in the vault, allow God to breathe new life into your dreams. Is your God bigger than the dream inside of you? Yes! The answer is a resounding YES!
Today, my hope for you is that you can experience the secret place. Allow Him to first, forgive you of secret sins. Let His grace wash over you. Let Him take your heavy burdens off of you, these are items you were not meant to carry in the first place. Praise Him, and as you praise Him you will begin to enter into the secret place. The Secret Place is sacred and holy. Enjoy this time with the Universe Maker and Star Breather, this One you can also call "Daddy." Allow him to reveal His secrets for your life.
There are no secrets in the secret place. You just have to get there. After you get there, dwell in the secret place for awhile.
Heart & Soul,
