Calvary Pointers Morning Showers 14 August 2023 Devotional by Reverend Ajisafe Opeyemi - God Is Our Hidding Place
Psalm 32:7 - “You are my hiding place; You preserve me from trouble.”
Our God is our hiding place! He has been keeping us safe.
We can’t know God as our “hiding place” unless we come to a place of dependency, weakness, and humility. The psalmist knew that. He wrote from a place of trust, clinging, and dependency.
“You preserve me from trouble.” When we realize our need for God’s protection and covering, we recognize that He is our only hiding place and that we can abide under the shadow of His wings, under the shelter of His protection. When we walk in this reality, we feel safe and secure, just like the psalmist.
The truth is, we are vulnerable in this world, outside of God. So many things are out of our control. At any moment, we could get struck by unexpected strange happening, killed in a car accident, or diagnosed with a deadly disease. It’s only because the Lord is our hiding place that our life is preserved in such a dangerous existence.
Obviously, this doesn’t mean we’ll never have any challenges, but I don’t think any of us has any idea how many troubles God has already protected us from and preserved us in. God loves you today.
You can lay your head down on your pillow at night knowing that Father God truly is and will be your hiding place.
As Psalm 91 says, “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust!’ For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence” .
The Lord will as well see you through the journey of the remaining days and months in 2023.
Good Morning
