Your Place

Mr. Bill unlocked his cabinet for me once -- THE cabinet where he secures his stuff. This special cabinet appeared suddenly following a rather lengthy period of family life when various items [he deemed important] were found scattered in the yard, the woods, the porch, under beds … well,  the list of places isn’t  really important.  Now, however, these items have a special home with their very own Mr-Bill “home” security system.

Everyone needs a good hiding place!  It wasn’t exactly a great hiding place but when the boys were young, I escaped to the bathroom for an occasional mama-moment.  A co-worker of mine found a great spot a few weeks ago behind several tall stacks of computer boxes.  It became that place where he could sit to gather his thoughts, make a few notes, and breathe!  Psalm 32:7 says God IS that perfect hiding place for His children; there, He preserves us from trouble and surrounds us with shouts of deliverance.  Sounds perfect to me!  It’s also a place of tremendous security.  Now, Mr. Bill’s security system for his stuff is pretty secure considering he has the only key but a security breach is possible if someone else gets the key.  Not so with The Father, in Him there is impeccable (faultless, flawless) security and the only sound we hear is: Deliverance!  Deliverance! Deliverance!  How sweet that sound and how perfect that place!

Dear Lord,

You are my hiding place and I rejoice in the refuge, comfort, and restoration I find in You.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
