Day 7 “In the Shadow” Jessie Harris, Lauren Mwonga, and Levi Smith “How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! The children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings” (Psalm 36:7 AMP). The Bible refers to God’s shadow many times. Here are a few examples: ·  We can take refuge in the shadow of His wings because of His lovingkindness (Psalm 36:7). ·  God hides us in the shadow of His hand (Isaiah 49:2). ·  We can sing in the shadow of His wings because He is our helper (Psalm 63:7). One of the most famous verses that talks about God’s shadow is Psalm 91:1: “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty” (NASB). According to Jewish tradition, Psalm 91 was written by Moses. Imagine for a moment what Moses could have been thinking about when he wrote that first verse. When the children of Israel left Egypt, they were led by a pillar of cloud during the day and a pillar of fire by night. The cloud not only led the Israelites away from the danger of Pharaoh’s army, but it also provided comfort them with its shade. Have you ever been outside on a hot sunny day when a cloud moved in front of the sun and brought relief from the heat? Most people look up at the sky when that happens. In the same way, we as believers are meant to look up at God. He is our source of protection and peace. Exodus 33 tells us that Moses set up the Tent of Meeting as a place to meet with God. “As he went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and hover at its entrance while the Lord spoke with Moses.… face to face, as one speaks to a friend” (vv. 9, 11 NLT). How do you build your relationship with your friends? You spend time with them. How do you build a relationship with God? You spend time with Him. God’s shadow is a place of safety, direction, peace, and intimacy. It’s a place where God speaks to us as a friend and assures us He is near. It’s a place where He heals our hearts and teaches us to trust Him. “I’m safe in Your arms (I’m a child of God) No weapon formed against me will stand
