“He will say to the Lord: “My protection and my fortress, my God”, – I hope in Him.” — Psalm 90:2

One evening while jogging near a construction site in our area, I saw a thin and dirty kitten that purred piteously and ran after me to my house. Now Mickey is a healthy, beautiful adult cat who spends a comfortable life in our house. He is a favorite of our family. Every time I run down the road where I found the cat, I say, “Thank you, God. Mickey was saved from life on the streets. Now he has a home.”

In the 90th Psalm, it is said about those who “live under the protection of the Most High” (v. 1). The Hebrew term translated by the word “to live” means “to remain, to be constantly.” If we abide in God, He helps us to live with His wisdom and to love Him above all else (v. 14; John 15:10). God promises us the comfort of eternal life with Him and His constant presence with us in our difficulties of life. Despite any problems, we can rely on God’s sovereignty, wisdom, and love, and on His promises to protect and save us.

If God is our refuge, then we live “in the shadow of the Almighty” (Ps. 90:1). No calamity will touch us unless God, in His infinite wisdom and love, allows it. God is our safe home.

What does it mean to have a home in God? What will be your response to difficulties if you dwell in the shelter of the Most High?

Heavenly Father, thank you for the home I have in You.
