He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 91:1
In the 1950s, at the height of the Cold War, many families built underground fallout shelters in their back yards as a defense against a nuclear attack. Not many people know that the United States government built a massive bunker beneath teh famous Greenbrier resort in White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia, large enough to house the entire Congress so the government could continue to function in case of an attack. It was a secret for 30 years, only revealed to the public in 1992--and was never used.
There's nothing wrong with taking precautions against approaching dangers. But a time of dangers is fast approaching against which no human defense will be able to stand. During the coming Tribulation, judgements from heaven will be released more powerful than any nuclear attack. But there is a refuge: God Himself. Those who belong to God through faith in Christ will be removed from earth before the Tribulation. Make Him your "dwelling place" and "no evil shall befall you" (Psalm 91:9-10).
How do you make God your refuge and hiding place? By trusting in His Son, Jesus Christ, through faith.
Only he who can say, "The Lord is the strength of my life" can say, "of whom shall I be afraid?"
- Alexander MacLaren
