IN THE SHELTER OF YOUR PRESENCE


Shelter from God-Psalm 31:20

Before we begin our Bible study Let us recite this verses:
A.“ Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path”. ( Psalm 119:105)
B.“God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” ( John 4:24)

If you are new to the Bible then recite this verses:
A."For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
B.“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him" (John 3:36).

KING of Jeshurun Devotions on Psalms 31:20
“In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues of men; in your dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues”.

The psalmist here saying regarding the believers safety and security in the shelter of His presence from the Intrigues of men.There are many intrigues and shams of devil by which many are knowingly and unknowingly fallen prey.The best way a believer can avoid conflict and strife and live peacefully will depend upon how close relationship we are maintaining  with God.Whatever the pressure might be you and I face come close to God and listen what he says.We need to accept the will of God and stop relying on men and not to lean on our own understanding.


The Bible says:
If we have trust in Him He will direct our path
 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,and he will make your paths straight” ( Prov 3:5-6).

When I remember how the Lord was faithful in my all the days of life there were many surmounting unsolvable pressures have been solved only relying and trusting the Lord and leaning to own understanding keeps us on conflict and strife.If we are to submit our ways in His hands then he will clear our paths and fulfill His will in our lives.If we are ready to fulfill the known will of God from the word of God then we will be fulfilling the absolute will of God for our lives.Everything depends upon trusting God and live peacefully to avoid conflict and strife.


The Prophecy says:


God is asking us to come to the first love.
“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands: I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. 
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love.Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolatians, which I also hate. 

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life,which is in the paradise of God" ( Rev 2:1-7).
