My Hiding Place

“Thou art my hiding place; you shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass (surround) me about with songs of deliverance.” God says, “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.” Psalm 32:7-8

Hiding Places

 As a child, did you have a hiding place? Are you a child? An adult? Can a person be both? Of course! We are our parents’ children forever, no matter our age.

We are expected as we grow to be adults that we will take responsibility and make decisions on our own, independent of our parents. In families, there may be more than one child and more than one set of parents.

After we accept Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior, He will always be one on one with us. We can never outgrow childhood. We will never get beyond our dependence on God regardless of our position at work or what age we are. God is always willing to have an audience with us providing we approach Him with the reverence He deserves.

One day I was having my quiet time and felt God was giving me a message. I began writing. Below is what I believe God shared with me that day.

My audience with the Father

“My child, my child, I love you. The extent of My love is not grasped by you. I have much in store for you which I am preparing for you now. Be at rest, My child, as you work. Come to Me with your petty aches, such as that which you are now troubled about. I am your everything. I will not do your work, but I am your endless supplier. See that your vision of Me is strengthened by use. Keep our hotline cleared of all debris. I am your glory. See that nothing takes My place. Come and feast on My riches. Honor Me and I will multiply your offerings to Me. I am your life. I am all you need. See Me and live.”

God longs to help His children.

Too often we carry our heavy burdens and forbid God to touch us, much less allow Him to heal our emotional wounds. Let us find time to draw apart today to recharge our spiritual batteries. He will nourish our souls. Then we can be His hands and feet with renewed energy.
