I saw in the distance a small canopy under the trees. The rain poured outside, and the leaves blew in different directions in the chill of the wind. Under the canopy it was dry and warm. As I approached, I saw a father and his child, sheltering from the elements outside. In the fathers’ hand was a flickering flame, the glow of which lit up the child’s face. The sound of laughter filled the space. On the walls of the shelter were drawings that the child had made, along with letters from the father saying, “you are mine” and “I love you”.
As I stood and watched the father and child interact with each other, I heard the spirit of the Lord say:
Come, let us build a den for this season. I will teach you how to build with the tools I have given you, for I AM your shelter. See that I have everything you need in this season. Will you allow Me to be your shelter in a stormy world? I want to hide you under the shadow of My wing.
Though there is work to be done, there is also joy to be found in the secret place that we build together. I have adventures for us to enjoy together. Come and sit with Me, spend time with Me. Show Me the burdens you are carrying and let Me lift them off you. For I AM your hiding place. Tell Me what is on your heart, and I will tell you what is on Mine. My child, I long to share with you the secrets and strategies of heaven. Come and shelter with Me and let Me burn in your heart a love that only the father can have for His beloved child.
Security of the One Who Trusts in the LORD
1 He who [a]dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust [with great confidence, and on whom I rely]!”Psalm 91:1 -2 (AMP)
