It's not often that God is referred to as a hiding place. He is known as a Rock, Savior, Redeemer, Lover, etc. However, He is also a refuge in times of trouble. There are days when I want to curl up under a rock and hide away from the world. There are times when the things of this world are too much for me. I am overwhelmed by the sin, by the sadness, by the poverty, by the despair, by the utter sense of hopelessness that most people are living with. I just want to run away and cry. However, when these days come, God is always there. He is my hiding place. He is the only one that I can turn to. When I am afraid, I will trust in Him. Selah's song "Hiding Place" is what I am basing this from. It's is a beautiful song with an amazing message.
Just when we think that we can't take another step, just when we want to die and end the pain we feel, God is there. We can fall into His arms and know without a shadow of a doubt that our God will never let anything harm us. We can stay in His presence knowing that He has conquered this world. When the things of life get us down, we need to remember Who wins in the end. Evil will one day be cast out of this world.
Oh Lord, I thank You for being my hiding place! I would be absolutely lost without You! Help me to stay grounded in Your Word and Your principles. Guide and direct Christians all over the globe. Give us a fire for the lost and a passion for Christ. Let Your perfect love overwhelm this lost and dying world!
