Dwelling

As I was working today a familiar verse, Psalm 91:1, came to mind.  It says, "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty".  I have read this verse many times, of course, but today my spirit was drawn to two words that I had not thought much about before, "dwells" and "shadow".  What does it mean to "dwell" in the shelter of the Most High?  The dictionary definition is, "to live or stay as a permanent resident".  What better place to reside than in the God's shelter, and thereby rest in His shadow.  In this place of shelter and rest I find my peace.  Though the world around me is in turmoil I can have peace when I am in His shelter.
