God's Hiding Place
Where can I go when troubled, frightened, maligned or attached? God has a hiding place for His children. David said, "You are a hiding place for me..." (Psalm 31:7) Here are a few descriptions of God's provisions of safety.
a refuge, a rock of refuge - Psalm 30:1,3
a strong fortress - Psalm 30:2
the cover of His presence - Psalm 30:20
His shelter - Psalm 27:5; 30:20
A stronghold - Psalm 27:1
under the cover of His tent - Psalm 27:5
my dwelling place - Psalm 90:1; 91:9
the cover of His pinons - Psalm 91:4
behind His shield and buckler - Psalm 91:4
under His wings - Psalm 91:4
in the shadow of His wings - Psalm 36:7; 63:7
under the shelter of His wings - Psalm 61:4
a strong tower - Psalm 61:3
in the shelter of the Most High - Psalm 91:1
in the shadow of the Almighty - Psalm 91:1
in the hands of Jesus - John 10:28
in the hands of the Father - John 10:29
hidden with Christ in God - Colossians 3:3
Go to God. Reflect on His Presence, His Person, His Power. You will find your Hiding Place and you will find rest for your soul in the midst of any trial.
Psalm 71:3 tells us that we may come to Him continually. He is our perpetual Hiding Place - always there, always available, forever. He will never turn us away. Isn't God great!? And He is my God!

THIS GOD - MY GOD
THIS GOD – MY GOD
While meditating on Psalm 18 I was struck with the descriptions of God and with the verbs describing His actions. I encourage you to read the Psalm before reading my ramblings. We have a great God.

This God is – my Strength, my Rock, my Fortress, my Deliverer, my God, my Rock of Refuge, my Shield, the Horn of my Salvation, my Stronghold.
When I call to this God, He hears, He acts, He answers, He delivers, He rescues, He comforts. He supports, He light my lamp and lightens the darkness, He strengthens, He steadies, He secures, He rewards. He shows Himself merciful, blameless, pure, and shrewd. He equips He trains, He provides, He elevates and makes great, He avenges and subdues, He exalts.
This God will take care of the battles for me. He will deal with any enemy I may have or encounter. Salvation belongs to Him.
Although written by David as a song of praise after the LORD rescued Him from Saul and his enemies, it is recorded for me and for all who love God. This God who answered David's cries for help, will answer my cries for help. He delights to answer the prayers of His children. Indeed, “This God – His way is perfect; the word of the LORD proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him. For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?” (Psalm 18:30,31ESV)
