Today I would like to talk about “The Secret Place Of Safety”. Look at I Samuel 19:2, “But Jonathan Saul’s son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:”
The phrase “secret place” means to cover. I think about when tornadoes are approaching we are instructed to go into an interior bathroom or closet and take a mattress with us to cover our head and body. This is a secret place of safety.
You and I have the wrong view of trials. We see them as “God is doing this to me.” The way we really need to see it is that “God is doing this for me.” Someone said, “What does not kill us makes us stronger.” This statement is true. Yet in the midst of trials we have a “secret place” where we can be covered.
In order to have access to this “secret place” we must be born again. We must be a child of God. If you trust Christ today He will not make all the bad things in your life stop. What He will do is let you see things from His perspective and that will revolutionize your life. I promise.
So, how are you doing?
