David knew that in his life the only safe place in the world was a place close to God, a place where he could see God, speak to God and worship God. A secret place.
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.
When a believer abides in that precious place he or she has blessed assurances that the rest of the world knows nothing about.
In these days we need that kind of assurance as we fight the battles of life with the world. Even when life is at it’s best, we are still in the midst of perilous times, 2 Tim. 3:1.
It may seem like life is out of control, and it is out of our control, but it is never out of God’s control. In the end we will end up exactly where we are supposed to be.
Those who abide in the secret place enjoy God's best. We are precious to Him.
John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
