the key and address to...

Many things come pounding on the gates. More still, are even demanding that the outside doors be opened. As you only just make your way out, you have no where to go. So you run to the only place that makes any sense, your most trusted friend house. You begin to tell them of all you have just gone through and witnessed. In mid sentence they turn, your heart starts to feel betrayed. “I thought you would understand.. “ you say. Then they hand you a key, “Here take this key and go to this address,” they tell you. “What is this place,” you ask them. With the warmth only they could have, they tell you, “It is my Hiding Place.

You are my hiding place. You protect me from trouble. You surround me with joyous songs of salvation. [Selah] Ps 32:7

Our hiding place is in plain sight, and if any good spy will tell you, those are the best locations. We all may have different ways of Prayer, Bible study, and all the other things essential to our growth as Believers. Yet, the same demands as Believers. We must Trust in His Word and know that it is our Refugee, our Hiding Place. No matter the degree of difficulties, every day has it’s share of problems. However, there are those days like mentioned before. That we feel, we can not climb high enough to get away from them. It is because of those days that, we have to know where we are going first. The other way around is no fun at all. To seek out Jesus in this mind-set before, is and will always be the most effective way, for you to see Him and His Word to be your Hiding Place.
