The Hiding Place of Refuge

 The Hiding Place of Refuge 

Ps.91.2 - I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust."

The secret place of God is the hiding place for all His children. It's the place of our sure refuge, shelter and defence against all enemies' assaults. When the devil roars around like lion seeking whom to devour, we are not perturbed because only those homeless and without shelter can fall prey to the predator. God wants all of us in His secret place because there we find salvation and rest for our souls. The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe. Prov.18.10

The arms of flesh will definitely fail. The horses and chariots, the amulets and ammunitions can't fight against the spiritual wickedness in the high places. Many people forget the Lord in the face of threats and intimidation of the power of darkness. In a generation where many thought God is often too slow to protect,  they run in error of desperacy to seeking refuge from herbalists, cults and occultism, but the end result is usually more disastrous than what took them there. Like the case of a woman who sought refuge and protection for her only son by joining the witches only to be asked to sacrifice the son as her contribution to the coven.

Many seek solutions to money matters and several other life's challenges from demons only to end up as lunatics. The Psalmist says in Ps.20.7&8- Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and stand upright.

 - God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy. Ps.46.1&3.

I am very sure, everyone who has tasted of the power of God's hiding place can testify and praise the Lord Almighty like king David who said, "Blessed be the LORD my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle. My lovingkindness and my fortress, My high tower and my deliverer, My shield and the One in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me". Ps.144.1&2

Readings: Psalm 20, 91; 46; 144; 61; Prov.  18:1-15

Prayers: Hide me oh Lord in Your secret place of Refuge. Keep me from every peril and danger of this world. May I forever remain under Your shadow in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen
