Where is the secret place? Psalm 91 has always been intriguing and one of the Bible verses that give food-for-thought.

I ponder and wonder and remain astounded in my reverie as I meander through these maze of words; carefully grafted paragraphs; one unfolding into another, seemingly detached but realy well knitted as a beautifully designed Cardigan. Furthermore, the next verse creates an habitat of joy. “He who dwells in the secret place of the most High …
” Where I ask, is this place?

This psalm is not like any other in the series; it is used as a morale booster, war declaration on enemies seen or unseen, build a protective shield and fortress, etc…

Knowing the location, geographical or spiritual; discovering THE particular zone will give clarity to so many unanswered questions.

An affirmation of powerful security from outside the earth’s atmosphere “⁵ Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

⁶ Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday…” Dare one go on? Verse after verse after verse, the words are truly divinely inspired!
As it wraps up with the depth of human assurance:

^"14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

¹⁵ He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

¹⁶ With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation."

This Psalm is simply in  a class of its own! Each time one revisits it, IT IS NEW EVERY MORNING!

It revives inner confidence; some powerful divine shooting stars direct from the seat and throne of the ALL MIGHTY
