MY HIDING PLACE
THE SAFEST SHELTER
And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind and a covert from the tempest. Isaiah 32:2
Who this Man is we all know. Who could He be but the Second Man, the Lord from heaven, the man of sorrows, the Son of Man? What a hiding place He has been to His people! He bears the full force of the wind Himself, and so He shelters those who hide themselves in Him. We have thus escaped the wrath of God, and we shall thus escape the anger of men, the cares of this life, and the dread of death. Why do we stand in the wind when we may so readily and so surely get out of it by hiding behind our Lord? Let us this day run to Him and be at peace.
Often the common wind of trouble rises in its force and becomes a tempest, sweeping everything before it. Things which looked firm and stable rock in the blast, and many and great are the falls among our carnal confidences. Our Lord Jesus, the glorious man, is a covert which is never blown down. In Him we mark the tempest sweeping by, but we ourselves rest in delightful serenity.
This day let us just stow ourselves away in our hiding place and sit and sing under the protection of our Covert. Blessed Jesus! Blessed Jesus! How we love Thee! Well we may, for Thou art to us a shelter in the time of storm. C.H. Spurgeon

Jesus is our only hope on this violent planet.
This is great! I do like Spurgeon and other old faithful preachers.
Notice my Xanga link? My Revelife site is not up yet, but I keep hoping…
Hi! Thanks for coming by. I agree with you about C.H. Spurgeon and others as well. Hope things get set up for you soon. I’m still learning how to navigate around here. God bless. Carolyn
Yes, He’s our shelter in the storms that are raging around us! Love Spurgeon, my friend! Hope you’re doing well … fall is upon us here … I so enjoy the cool crisp nights, and the deep blue of the sky during the day! My favorite time of year! Well, I’m still learning my way around here, too. I opened a site on WordPress that’s similar to this, but it’s easier there for some reason … there are functions that are missing here that WordPress has. Hopefully, they’ll get the bugs worked out. You have a blessed day, Carolyn … come on over if you get a chance … I have posted and I’ve only had a couple of visitors! I’m lonely! Bless you, my friend! ((Hugs))
