To Be Hidden Of God

Apostle Grace Lubega

Psalms 27:4-5(KJV); One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

To Be Hidden Of GodGod hides men.

In 1 Kings 17:3, He instructs Elijah to go and hide by the brook Cherith. The result was that even though king Ahab looked for him in every nation, he failed to find him(1 Kings 18:10).

The Bible tells us in 1 Kings 19:18 that God hid seven thousand prophets that did not bow their knees to baal.

In Daniel 3, Shadrach, Mesach and Abednego were thrown into a roaring furnace. The question is, ‘where was Daniel?’ He was hidden by God.

How then does the Lord hide men?

Our theme scripture reveals that in the day of trouble, he hides us in his pavilion and in the secret of his tabernacle.

However, in the previous verse, it says ‘One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.’

This means that the presence of God hides men. The more you keep in his presence, the more certain things are far from you.

A man hidden by God is a man of the presence.

Look at the life of such a man through the lens of Psalms 91. That man is delivered from the snare of the fowler, he is not afraid of the terror by night or the arrow that flies by day, a thousand fall at his side and ten thousand at his right hand but no trouble comes near him.

When you seek God a certain way, there are things that will never touch you.

His name be praised!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Men hidden by God are men of the presence.

PRAYER: Father God, I thank you for this Word. I thank you for your hedge around my life and everything concerning me. I know that I am preserved, that disease, destruction and any attacks of the enemy are far from me. I live in the confidence of one shielded by you on all sides. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
