THE KABOD ENCOUNTER.

FEB. 29TH.  
TEXT: Psalm 91King James Version (KJV)
91 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
The true longing of our souls cannot be satisfied by religious forms, devotion to rituals, pilgrimages and countless religious activities. Deep down in the heart of every man is an undaunted craving for a divine cuddle. But for our predetermined purpose and pursuit it would have been easier to access the readily available kabod of the Father.
CONTEMPLATION
When a soul dwells under the shadow of the Almighty, it becomes overwhelmed with the glory of God. This soul becomes overwhelmed with the weightiness of the glory of God that is real and tangible. This actually reveals to us an encounter of the Kabod of God. It is in the place of our fellowship with the Lord that He wraps us in a shield of His glory and divine favour (See Psalm 3:3). The kabod of God upon any life is the greatest protection any man can enjoy. This is the place where the enemy surrenders to you without you lifting a finger (Exodus 14:14). It is the place of divine results and unfathomable testimonies. As you pant after God, you shall not be disappointed, you will get there in Jesus name, Amen.
Often when we become encumbered by the demands of life and we become famished, it is natural and easier to rush in some food into our stomach, but we seldom consider the need to revitalize our spirit man. Whatever you love, you feed, and whatever you feed will grow. The eye is believed to be the window of the soul so be careful what you feed your soul.
It is only the ear that is attentive to God that can receive continual update from God on how to live and stay victorious in life. This is the reason why after the prolonged fasting and temptation of Jesus, He went straight to the temple; and as he read from Isaiah 61 He made known his mandate (see Luke 4).
Each time we allow the craving of the flesh to determine our actions we trivialize our eternal destiny.  Right here the man Esau comes to mind; by the satisfaction he got from a plate of food he despised his birth right (Genesis 25:29-34).
Every now and then we are presented with the options of taking refuge under the shadow of His wings and taking solace in certain canal pleasures, but only a spiritually hungry fellow will be able to make the right decision.  Where a man’s treasure is, there his heart will always be (Mat 6:21). What is your treasure?
