Are You In HIS SHADOW?

What does being in His Shadow imply?

Many will say, thinking of Psalm 91, that's where we are protected, cared for.

So True, but how does it position us....To be in His Shadow, He is between us and the Father of Lights!  It means we are in close proximity  to His Presence.  

It's also where we gain revelation of who He is....If you are feeling dry in your walk with the Lord, then chances are you are not in His Shadow...not close enough to hear the whispers of His heart...

How many times when we are at more of a distance than before, we try to compensate for the distance with 'religious' or church life, with 'good works and intentions' with louder prayers.

In studying the Tabernacle - Ex 35:30 - God calls out Bezalel by name - endowed him with a divine spirit of skill, ability and knowledge to craft the furniture of the ark...His name means 'In God's shadow' - that's what it takes to build God's house....Be about God's business from the presence and proximity of being in His Shadow...

As he stayed in the Shadow of God, revelation and the Heart of God's plans and purposes were revealed to him so that he would be able to create the articles of the Tabernacle with the approval of God.

Without trying to create things according to his own understanding, walking in the shadow of Christ he was able to discern, and walk in the security of the master builder.

Are we walking close enough to be in his shadow?  There are plenty of things that would distract us, family, work, fun....but the neglect that we are all guilty of from time to time in our personal walk, is something that Christ would seek to have us pay attention to...to change and place him as our main priority...there by receiving the directions we need to more fully, more completely, more effectively, do all those things to which He has called us to each day....the masterful, the meaningful and the menial.
