Today’s Promise

Psalm 27:5

For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; in the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock.    


The secret to King David’s public confidence was his private walk with God. He understood that God was protecting and keeping Him.

David had a profound and intimate fellowship with God. The verses before this promise describe David’s desire to live in the presence of the Lord.

In the times of the Old Testament, when a guest came to your tent, you were responsible for their protection and provision. Even though it might only be a tent, it became a safe refuge.  Your host would lay down his life to make sure you were protected from any attack.

The tabernacle of God is the dwelling place of God. At that time it was just a tent, but David knew there was safety in the presence of God.

He knew his enemies could not touch him because God would give him victory.

David came away from his personal time of worship with a confidence that he was standing on a rock solid foundation, and that God was his protection. He knew that God would hide him in such a way that his enemies could never find him.

When you walk in the presence of the Lord, you receive his protection and provision. God hides you away so your enemies cannot reach you.

He will hide and protect you in His presence. You can rest in His presence knowing He is in control.

When the world is sinking all around you, you can be confident that God has placed you on His solid rock.

He is your hiding place when the day of trouble comes.

Let’s review that verse one more time.

For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; in the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock. – Psalm 27:5

 

Confess this with me,

When troubles come, I know God will protect me.
He will hide me in His presence.
He will keep me from the enemy and provide for my every need.
When the world around me is sinking.
God places me on His solid rock.
He is my hiding place.

In Jesus Name,
Amen

When you build your life around a personal walk with God, when trouble strikes, He will protect and hide you in Him. He will place us on a strong foundation.

    God has given me more wisdom & prompted me to depend solely on Him vs. my own understanding, during my mom’s recent illness & hospital stay. While dwelling in His hiding place of love, comfort and reassurance, both my faith and my mom’s faith have increased tremendously?.
