Yes, there is no safety like that which comes of dwelling near to God.
For His best beloved the LORD can find no surer or safer place.
O LORD, let me always abide under Thy shadow, close to Thy wounded side.
Nearer and nearer would I come to Thee, my LORD; and when once specially near Thee, I would abide there forever.
What a covering is that which the LORD gives to His chosen!
Not a fair roof shall cover him, nor a bomb-proof casement, nor even an angel's wing, but Jehovah Himself.
Nothing can come at us when we are thus covered.
This covering the LORD will grant us all the day long, however long the day.
LORD, let me abide this day consciously beneath this canopy of love, this pavilion of sovereign power.
Does the third clause mean that the LORD in His temple would dwell among the mountains of Benjamin or that the LORD would be where Benjamin's burden should be placed, or does it mean that we are borne upon the shoulders of the Eternal?
In any case, the LORD is the support and strength of His saints.
LORD, let me ever enjoy Thy help, and then my arms will be sufficient for me.
~Charles Spurgeon~
