Favorite Hiding Place

You are my hiding place; you will protect me from troubleand surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

Psalm 32:7

When we were children most of us had our favorite hiding places.These places came in handy for games of hide-and-go-seek, as well as hiding from siblings who were becoming annoying. Some of us hid behind the couch, some in the coat closet, and some even in our mom's kitchen cabinets.

As we grow older and move closer to God, we realize that he is our"couch" and our "kitchen cabinet" when we need a safe place to hide. God is the hiding place for our souls. He is our refuge. God protects us from the evils of this world. He is the one who can make all things happen in his own time for our benefit. God's comfort surrounds us in away that is unending and everlasting and we need only to ask for it.

Elizabeth White

Prayer: Holy Father, watch over me and give me strength in the face of my fears. Be my protection and comfort; surround me with your love and devotion.
