Woke up with these words in my ears yesterday, “Hide yourself in Me”.
As I was pondering this I thought about the purpose of hiding places, to hide from an enemy, to hide from a storm, to hide from distractions in order to focus. God wants to be this kind of shelter for us all.
After praying for a little while I focused in on hiding from an enemy and how vital it is to be quiet and still in that situation, my imagination wandering to people hiding from soldiers in wartime. I sensed God say to me that I need to be silent and give up complaining and murmuring about issues in my life because by doing so I continually give up my position to the enemy. I confess to be trusting God on the one hand and then reveal my lack of trust on the other.
So I have decided to hide from distractions in order to focus on God’s faithfulness and trustworthiness for a while so that when the storms of life come and the enemy is prowling I will have my place of safety.
“You shall hide them in the secret place of Your Presence from the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues”. Psalm 32:20
“You are my hiding place You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance”. Psalm 32:7
