1. He is a Safe Hiding Place. "A Covert from the tempest" (Isa 32:2). "Thou shalt hide them in the secret of Thy presence from the pride of man; Thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues" (Psa 31:20).
Note the three "froms" in the above verses as showing that from which the Lord saves.
2. He is a Sure Hiding Place. "In the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; in the secret* of His tabernacle shall He hide me" (Psa 27:5). Note the two "Shalls." There is no uncertainty.
3. He is a Secret Hiding Place. "Thou art my Hiding Place; Thou shalt preserve from trouble" (Psa 32:7). The word "Hiding" in the above is rendered "Secret" in some of the Scriptures before us, and is so given in 1Sa 19:2, which may be taken as an illustration.
4. He is a Comfortable Hiding Place. "I will abide in Thy tabernacle for ever; I will trust in the covert of Thy wings" (Psa 61:4). The young birds find the covert of the mother bird's wings a place of comfort.
5. He is a Strong Hiding Place. "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty (Psa 91:1). Note, it is the "Almighty" who is the Shelterer.
6. He is a Secure Hiding Place. "Thou art my Hiding Place and my Shield; I hope in Thy Word" (Psa 119:114). He assures us in His Word what He is, hence our security.
7. He is a Communing Hiding Place. "O, my dove, thou art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice," &c. (Sgs 2:14). The Lord is not a cold hard rock in which we hide; He is a living Person, with whom we hold converse.
