You are my hiding place!

I hate the double minded (those with divided hearts) but I love your law.

You are my hiding place. I hope in your word.

Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God (Psalms 119:113-115)

Psalms 32:6-7 NKJV
[6] For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You In a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters They shall not come near him. [7] You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

Hiding place; a place of safety, refuge and protection from the enemy. When we pray to God to deliver us from evil, He responds by hiding us under the shadow of His wings; like an owl, covering it’s young with its feathers to hide them from beasts and birds of prey. So our God hides those who desire to obey and take heed according to His word. There is a living power to scripture that gets into the heart and mind of those who listen intently and put it into practice.

God is my hiding place. His word gives me hope. He feeds my soul and spirit, that I might worship Him in spirit and in truth.

The enemy wants me to have a divided heart; halfway in the world and halfway in the Kingdom of God. But it doesn’t work that way.

Psalm 119 is a poetic declaration and testimony of the excellencies of living in God’s word; His laws, commandments, statutes, testimonies, precepts, instructions, decrees, etc

When I turn to God in faith, hoping to hear His word, what I receive in response is His voice. God speaks to my inner man, at the core/center of my being. It’s a still small voice that only I can hear. Not audibly as when someone is talking to me on the outside, nor like an inner sound system. No, it’s an inaudible voice that only my heart, mind, soul and strength can receive, hear and put into practice. When God speaks to me this way, He has opened the eyes of my heart. He gives me eyes to see, ears to hear, and heart that is prepared to turn to Him in repentance and receive His word, and the living power of His word leads me further along the path of righteousness and sets me free from the power of death and destruction.

This is place I need to be hidden from; where my sinful human man with it’s lusts and desires collide with my born again spiritual man. The battlefield where my heart and mind engage in spiritual warfare.

In this hiding place, he gives me the full armor of God to protect me from the enemy. When I put it on daily, I’m protected from the wiles of the devil. And the fruit of the Spirit is the produce of walking in the Spirit as He hides me under the shadow of His wings.

The hope of His word is my strength and my song. He surround me with songs of deliverance.

Where do you go in times of great temptation, tests and trials? Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and He will protect you. He will be your shield, your stronghold, your Rock, your solid foundation, your deliverer!
