The Place Set Apart
Wednesday, August 26, 2026
Yom Kippur or The Day of Atonement was the holiest day on the Biblical calendar, the day when the people of Israel stood before God, and their sins were covered. But, God’s acceptance of their sacrifice took place behind the veil in the Holy of Holies. The holiest time of Yom Kippur was done in the secret place. No one saw or heard it. The word holy means set apart. So as a child of God, you need to have in your life that which is set apart – a secret place, a secret time, set apart from your day to day life, your relationships, your congregation, and your ministry. It’s easy even in doing the things of God to lose intimate time with God Himself. Therefore, the secret place should only big enough for you and God – where you leave all those things, to be alone with your Beloved, Himself. If you ignore the secret place, everything else will become dry and empty. If you set apart the secret place, then everything else will become full from its overflowing. So, come into His chambers, just you and Him, and be filled up in the radiance and glory of His presence hidden away in the secret place.
From Message #121 – The Secret Place
Scripture: Psalm 91:1
TODAY’S MISSION – Today, if you don’t have a secret place, make one. Then all who have one, spend time with God today in that secret place.

Commentary – Psalm 91: 1-2 from “The Apologetics Study Bible:
“The first two verses use the images of “protection” (Hb sether, ‘hiding place”) and “shadow” from the world of birds, and “refuge” and “fortress” from military settings to express confidence in divine protection. While most of the psalms are either prayers to God or hymns to His praise, this pslam (except v. 2) is entirely God’s word of assurance to the worshiper (see Psalm 50; 81; 82).’
“I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Psalm 91:2
