Our Hiding Place

 

“He COVERS YOU with His feathers, and UNDER His wings you take refuge ...” (Ps 91:4, emphasis mine)

 

Most infants and toddlers have their special blankets, that to them, represent security and safety.  Some adults have special places which offer a sense of peace, security, safety, and an impression of home and belonging.  For those of us that have willingly entered a close, intimate relationship with our Creator, our security lies in Him, our Father, our Deliverer, our Redeemer, our Elohim.  It is to Him that we run with our feelings of insecurity, with our fears, our doubts, our weaknesses, our failings, and even our loneliness, and it is under the shadow of His wings that we are restored.

“How precious is Your kindness, O Elohim! And the sons of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.  They are filled from the fatness of Your house, And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.  For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.”  (Ps 36:7-9)

No adversary can follow us when we crawl up into the lap of our Abba Father.  The closer we stay to our Elohim, our Hiding Place, our Refuge, our High Tower, the more that we will WANT to dwell in the “secret place of the Most High” (see Ps 91).  The more time that we linger in the shadow of the All-Mighty, the El-Shaddai, the more of His truth will saturate our very beings.  We will come away with boldness, and with power, saying “IT IS WRITTEN”.  And the more time we spend in sweet intimacy with our King, the more we will require … It is a hunger and a thirst that is never satisfied.

 

“You are my hiding place; You preserve me from distress; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.”  (Ps 32:7)
