Welcome to the first blog SERIES!! It's been a while in the making, and will be posted periodically. Thank you for joining me on this journey 💛
The term "Hiding Place" has been on my heart a lot recently, and when I went to explore it I found so many different aspects to study, which was so good to get into!
The first one was a hiding place as a 𝕣𝕖𝕗𝕦𝕘𝕖. The perfect chapter from the Bible that describes this is Psalm 91. A key line is in verse 2; "I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." We can rely on God to protect us and provide us with refuge when times get hard. This is not an escape from the reality that we do get hit down, it's a recognition of the fact that in every situation we can go to God, our fortress and safe place, for healing, for comfort, for the reminder that this will only make you stronger, for the hope that allows us to face the world knowing we have God on our side.
A fortress is strong and safe, difficult to break down and get inside. When God is our refuge, we have the opportunity to recover, refuel, restore, and ready ourselves to go into the world again.
"You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance"
- Psalm 32:7
