"He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." (Psalm 91:1)
The Almighty dwells "in the secret place," and He "sees in secret"; (Matthew 6:4) hence: "He reveals the deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness; and the light dwells with Him," (Daniel 2:22) because, "God is light." (1 John 1:5) "Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight; but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do." (Hebrews 4:13)
This would be a terrible bit of knowledge to us, fearful to contemplate, if it were not for the knowledge that God looks with kindlier eyes than man. He is "of purer eyes than to behold iniquity," (Habakkuk 1:13) and evil shall not dwell with Him; (Psalm 5:4) so if we only choose the light of His countenance (Psalm 90:8) it will cleanse us from secret faults, (Psalm 19:12) so that none will remain to be seen. And then we have on the other hand the wonderful assurance that: "The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him; and He will show them His covenant." (Psalm 25:14)
He that dwells in secret, and sees in secret, and works in secret, is able to make known deep and secret things. So with gladness we may ever remember that: "You, God, see me." (Genesis 16:13)--Present Truth, July 30, 1903--Psalm 91:1.
