Psalm 91:1; Matthew 13:44
Peace and security have proven to be issues of critical concern for every
individual, families and nations.
In fact, there are nations that spend more on their military and defence
than public health and education.
The greatest treasure any individual can have, is to discover and dwell
in the secret place of the Most High.
What are the secrets to enjoying the security from the secret place
of the Most High?
“Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall enjoy much peace…
If you refuse to be hurried and pressed, if you stay your soul on
God, nothing can keep you from that clearness of spirit which is life
and peace. In that stillness you know what His will is.” –Carmichael.
