Itβs onerous for me to comply with my regular morning routine with out waking them so this morning Iβd prefer to share one thing I wrote some years again. A number of days again I wrote about βConceal and Searchβ, which was actually extra about in search of than hiding. At this time I’ll share on how and when we have to cover.
As a child, we used to have nice video games of cover n search on our block on a summer time evenings. More often than not I might be one of many first caught as a result of I used to be one of many youngest and didnβt cover too properly.
Often there can be that point when nobody may discover me and I dreaded listening to them name out βOlly, Olly, Oxen Freeβ. (Aspect notice: I’ve since realized that basically had been βAll ye, all ye, outs in freeβ.) I didnβt wish to reveal my hiding place as a result of I may use it once more. I used to be secure and properly hidden.
In life there have been occasions that I’ve stood within the face of hassle and defiantly stated give me your greatest shot β I can take it. Typically this was a silly confidence in my very own energy and at different occasions it was a safe declaration of my victory in Christ.
However there have additionally been these occasions that my need was to be securely hidden; not eager to be seen or discovered as a result of I wanted a time to relaxation.
God is so good that approach! Giving us time to cover below the shadow of His wings; time to regain our energy, time to construct non secular muscle, time to develop in Him.
