In the secret
in the quiet place
in the stillness You are there
in the secret
in the quiet hour i wait
only for You
‘cuz i want to know you more

i want to know you
i want to hear your vioce
i want to know you more
i want to touch you
i want to see your face
i want to know you more

i am reaching for the highest goal
that i might receive the prize
pressing onward
pushing every hindrance aside
out of my way
‘cuz i want to know you more

i want to know you
i want to hear your voice
i want to know you more
i want to touch you
i want to see your face
i want to know you more

I”m confused by the SonicFlood Version – talking about quiet place, and it’s SO LOUD and Fast!

But the Words…

I want to know you, I want to hear your voice…this is my heart cry! I want to touch you, I want to see your face, I want to know you more.

I’ve been thinking about Psalm 91 this morning…

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

DWELLS – an action – a choice to dwell in the secret place, and THEN we will ABIDE under the shadow of the Almighty.  But FIRST we must choose to DWELL there.

I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

SAY – I will SAY – ALL of Christianity has to do with confession.

Rom 10:8 – 10 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

The rest of Ps 91 is a confession of faith in God, until you get to verses 14 – 16. This is God Almighty, Yahweh, Jehovah, Abba, talking:

Because he(me) hath set his(my) love upon me(Abba),therefore will I(Abba) deliver him(me):I(Abba) will set him(me) on high, because he(I) hath known my(Abba’s) name.

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

With long life will I(Abba) satisfy him(me), and shew him(me) my(Abba’s) salvation.

I have responsibility to seek God’s face! Seeking is another post.

But, I have to choose to be in the secret place, I have to choose to abide in the vine, I have to choose to SAY HE IS MY GOD – my refuge, my strength.

Jesus said, in Matthew 10:32-33

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

This really lays down how important it is to confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord, and to say of our God, He is our refuge and strength(a very present help in trouble – another psalm!).

Thank you for joining me on this journey, and may God bless you for doing so!

Jesus is Lord, He is my God, my refuge and strength, and I choose to seek His face, and dwell in the secret place, and desire to abide in His glory.

In His hands and under His wings,
