Preaching on The Hiding Place of the Most High

The Hiding Place of the Most High

A profound and comforting truth: the Lord is our hiding place. In a world filled with danger and uncertainty, we have a sanctuary, a place of refuge in the Most High. Let us explore the depths of this divine shelter and discover the peace it offers.

1. Hiding place as protection from life’s dangers (Psalm 17:8)

"He keeps me as the apple of his eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings." Just as we instinctively protect our eyes, God shields us with tender care. He hides us in the shadow of His wings, a place of safety and security.

2. In the day of adversity, He hides us safely (Psalm 27:5)

"For in the day of trouble he will hide me in his pavilion..." When trials and tribulations assail us, God provides a sanctuary, a pavilion where we are untouchable. He prepares a shelter in the midst of the storm.

3. Hidden with God, out of the reach of the enemy (Psalm 31:20)

"You will hide them in the secret place of your presence..." There is a secret place, a dwelling in the presence of the Lord, where evil cannot penetrate. It is a refuge beyond the reach of the enemy's grasp.

4. God is our refuge and song in the midst of chaos (Psalm 32:7)

"You are my hiding place; you preserve me from trouble..." God's shelter is not merely a place of safety, but also a source of comfort and joy. Even in the midst of pain and chaos, He fills our hearts with songs of deliverance.

5. Protected from the counsel of the wicked (Psalm 64:2)

"Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked..." When the enemy plots in secret, when darkness conspires against us, God's hiding place provides protection. He shields us from the schemes of the wicked.

6. Hope and Shield—A Hiding Place of Faith (Psalm 119:114)

"You are my refuge and my shield; I hope in your word." Our hiding place is not just a physical location, but a living trust in God's Word. It is a place of faith, where we find hope and assurance in His promises.

7. Fleeing into Hiding Place with Confidence (Psalm 143:9)

"Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies; I flee to you for cover." Instead of running away from God in times of trouble, we run to Him. He is our true shelter, our ultimate refuge.

8. Jesus: the perfect hiding place like the shadow of a rock (Isaiah 32:2)

"And the man will be like a hiding place from the wind..." Jesus Christ is our perfect hiding place, our shelter in the storms of life. He is the rock of our salvation, a safe place where we find rest and security.

9. The Hiding Place: Deep Fellowship and Eternal Protection (General basis)

The hiding place is where we experience deep fellowship with God, a place of intimate communion. It is a place of eternal protection, where we are secure in His love and grace.

10. In the hiding place we are prepared and strengthened (General basis)

God uses the hiding place not only to protect us, but to shape our character. It is a place of preparation, where we are strengthened, healed, and equipped for His purposes.

Conclusion

Let us seek refuge in the hiding place of the Most High. Let us find comfort, strength, and protection in His presence. Let us trust in His Word, and find our peace in His love. Amen.
