My Hiding Place


(NIV) Psalm 91:1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you

from the fowler’s snare

and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers,

and under his wings you will find refuge;

I am not sure how many times over the years I have turned to this Psalm for strength and for solace. I crave the peace that comes only through a relationship with Jesus. I thirst for the living waters and hunger for the bread of life, not because I do not have them, but because once you have Jesus in your life there is no substitute.

The Word of God washes over me, and I know, believe and understand that

He is my hiding place. When life overwhelms I dive deep into the truth found only from Genesis to Revelation, and emerge quenched and refreshed.

May we hide the Word in our hearts so that it comforts and consoles, guides and directs, informs and transforms.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
