"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty." -- Psalm 91:1

It's said that the body is the temple that houses the soul.  Our homes house our bodies.  But what beyond that?  When we consider shelter, we are thinking of protection from the elements.  Our homes can protect our bodies from the physical forces of nature and keep us dry and warm, but our bodies don't have the same utility on our souls, for bodies cannot offer protection against countering spiritual forces.  As spiritual beings, we must dwell in the presence of God in the context of our relationship with him.  When we do so, we firmly establish ourselves on high ground away from the raging forces of spiritual destruction.
