•God doesn't let us hide from our mistakes or from all the troubles of the world•
❗Hiding place doesn't mean comfort zone❗
God is our Hiding Place, He is our refuge and our safe place. Our Hiding Place is all at once quiet and transformative. However, it is not an escape from the world. In order to learn and grow we have to face the world with courage and God by our side fighting with us. We don't learn by escaping, we still have battles to win! There is a season for hiding and preparation, but there is also a season to fight strongly, and we have the Holy Spirit on our side to help us discern and choose our battles wisely.
Our Hiding Place is not a way to hide from ourselves. We have free will, and with that comes both good and bad decisions. When we make mistakes, we have to live with the consequences. God's grace is so good that He forgives us before we even sin, and He saves us from eternal consequences, but we still have earthly consequences to deal with. God never leaves us, He faces all our battles, even self-inflicted ones, with us.
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
- Romans 5:8
