A place without fear

Margaret I. Hardy

Do you have a secret place? It might be your bedroom. Or it might be a tree house or the roof of your apartment building. Do you know the poem about a boy—Christopher Robin—who had a special stair, halfway down the staircase in his house?^{See A. A. Milne, The World of Christopher Robin (New York: E. P. Dutton & Company, Inc., 1958), p. 95.} That was his secret place.

In the ninety-first Psalm the Bible tells about a "secret place" where you feel good and safe. It tells about a promise too: "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."^{Ps. 91:1.}

The word dwelleth is important. It doesn't mean just to visit once in a while. To dwell somewhere means to live there all the time.
