That Secret Hiding Place

It’s amazing that there’s a place of solitude in a world filled with people---a place to flee to during crushing battles that rage about us.---a quiet, peaceful place in the profound presence of God.

Psalm 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

This is a promise reserved for those who love the Lord their God. Have you been to that place?

The assurance of God’s sheltering place allows believers to weather the storms of life with hope.
This allowed David to face Goliath.
This was the confidence that kept Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego from burning in the fiery furnace .
This was the assurance that gripped the heart of Daniel in the lions den.
This was the knowledge that allowed Paul to continue as he suffered greatly,  2 Cor. 12:7-11.
   
Those who have learned to abide in Christ through The Word and prayer have been to that place and know the glory of it.  Praise Him.
