Creative Hearts Seek: In the Morning Devotional and Prayer Guideنموونە

He shall hide me. Have you ever started to play a worship or praise song while cleaning up? Then all of a sudden, what meant to be only "background music" turned into an intimate moment of worship with the Lord. Well, that was me today. While I was putting up groceries, the song that was playing declared:

"The Rock that never fails, let us hide in you." This reminded me that in every moment, in every season, day in and out, we have access to God as our refuge, our hiding place. I love the way The Barnes' Notes Commentary breaks our scripture focus verse down & I had to share it with you here:

In his pavilion - The word "pavilion" means "tent" or "tabernacle." The Hebrew word - סכה sukâh - means properly a booth, hut, or cot formed of green branches interwoven:

In the secret of his tabernacle - In the most retired and private part of His dwelling. He would not merely admit him to His premises; not only to the vestibule of His house; not only to the open court, or to the parts of His house frequented by the rest of His family; but he would admit him to the private apartments - the place to which He Himself withdrew to be alone, and where no stranger, and not even one of the family, would venture to intrude.

Nothing could more certainly denote friendship; nothing could more certainly make protection sure than thus to be taken into the private apartment where the master of a family was accustomed himself to withdraw, that he might be alone; and nothing, therefore, can more beautifully describe the protection which God will give to His friends than the idea of thus admitting them to the secret apartments of His own dwelling-place.

He shall set me up upon a rock - A place where I shall be secure, a place inaccessible to my enemies.

Didn't that bless you? In the secret place, in His Pavilion, God literally tucks us away and conceals us from all harm; we are undetected, covered on all sides. Let this remind you today that He is your hiding place.

Reflection: How do you need God to cover you in this season of your life?

Activation: Write It down & begin to pray over everyone here you need God to Hide you.
