<h2>71. CHRIST, OUR HIDING PLACE</h2>
|
|
<p>1. He is a <b>Safe</b> Hiding Place. "A Covert from the tempest" (<a id="fem71-si1" onclick="return mV('Isa',32,2);">Isa 32:2</a>). "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" (<a id="fem71-si2" onclick="return mV('Psa',31,20);">Psa 31:20</a>).</p>
|
|
<p>Note the three "froms" in the above verses as showing that from which the Lord saves.</p>
|
|
<p>2. He is a <b>Sure</b> Hiding Place. "In the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; in the <i>secret</i>* of His tabernacle shall He hide me" (<a id="fem71-si3" onclick="return mV('Psa',27,5);">Psa 27:5</a>). Note the two "<i>Shalls</i>." There is no uncertainty.</p>
|
|
<p>3. He is a <b>Secret</b> Hiding Place. "Thou art my <i>Hiding Place</i>; Thou shalt preserve from trouble" (<a id="fem71-si4" onclick="return mV('Psa',32,7);">Psa 32:7</a>). The word "Hiding" in the above is rendered "Secret" in some of the Scriptures before us, and is so given in <a id="fem71-si5" onclick="return mV('1Sa',19,2);">1Sa 19:2</a>, which may be taken as an illustration.</p>
|
|
<p>4. He is a <b>Comfortable</b> Hiding Place. "I will abide in Thy tabernacle for ever; I will trust in the <i>covert</i> of Thy wings" (<a id="fem71-si6" onclick="return mV('Psa',61,4);">Psa 61:4</a>). The young birds find the covert of the mother bird's wings a place of comfort.</p>
|
|
<p>5. He is a <b>Strong</b> Hiding Place. "He that dwelleth in the <i>secret place</i> of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty (<a id="fem71-si7" onclick="return mV('Psa',91,1);">Psa 91:1</a>). Note, it is the "<i>Almighty</i>" who is the Shelterer.</p>
|
|
<p>6. He is a <b>Secure</b> Hiding Place. "Thou art my <i>Hiding Place</i> and my Shield; I hope in Thy Word" (<a id="fem71-si8" onclick="return mV('Psa',119,114);">Psa 119:114</a>). He assures us in His Word what He is, hence our security.</p>
|
|
<p>7. He is a <b>Communing</b> Hiding Place. "O, my dove, thou art in the clefts of the rock, in the <i>secret places</i> of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice," &c. (<a id="fem71-si9" onclick="return mV('Sgs',2,14);">Sgs 2:14</a>). The Lord is not a cold hard rock in which we hide; He is a living Person, with whom we hold converse.</p>
