His Pavilion

For in the time of trouble

He shall hide me in His pavilion;

In the secret place of His tabernacle

He shall hide me;

He shall set me high upon a rock.

Psalm 27:5

The royal pavilion was the place of the king in the midst of his army, it was erected right in the centre of his armed forces, right in the heart of everything. And all around the pavilion his army and all his mighty men kept guard at all hours of the day and the night. Without the king’s permission, nothing and no one could get anywhere near his royal pavilion.

Honoured friends of the king, those closest to him who kept devoted and loyal counsel, were the ones brought into the pavilion.  In that place they were hidden from view, they found out about the king’s plans, the battle strategies they were to be part of, they grew closer to him and they understood his thoughts.

The pavilion of Almighty King Yahshua is set up in our midst and He calls us to join Him. He invites us to be hidden by His divine power and to be with Him in that place. To come into the holy of holies, the place that is at the very centre of His encampment. His glorious holy tabernacle, the place of His peace and anointing, the place where His glory dwells – in His perfect holy presence.

The treasury of David says: ‘….thus in that divine sovereignty which almighty power is sworn to maintain, the believer peacefully is hidden, hidden not by himself furtively, but by the king…’

BY THE KING HIMSELF!

By the invitation of Yahshua Himself, we can come into that place and be with Him. Surrounded by His angelic host, His mighty warrior angels and His angel armies. In the midst of it all we are with Yahovah Ts’vaot, the God of angel armies – the Lord of Hosts!

We can get closer to Him, He will share His plans with His loyal ones, we can know His thoughts which are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9) and He will show us great and marvellous things (Jeremiah 33:3).

No one of old, except the High Priest once a year, would dare to enter the holy of holies on pain of death. If the Lord Himself hides us there, what enemy can enter in?

And in that place He sets us on a Rock, a sure foundation. And that sure foundation is Himself, Yahshua, Unchanging, unending, we cannot be shaken in that place. How blessed we are when we are placed high above all our enemies, when we are set up above the cares of this world and of this life.

Yahshua is our Rock that can never be shaken, the Rock that is higher than I (Psalm 6:12). This unconquerable Rock of our salvation can never be overcome by a siege, because no attack will overcome and be successful against the eternal Rock.

Lay all aside and enter His pavilion, and in that place let His peace overwhelm you, let His presence strengthen you and let Him lift you to new heights in His glory, where He will place your feet on the firmest of foundations forever…….

In His love Michèle
