Finding Comfort in the Hidden Place
Comfort is often mistaken for a change in circumstances. Sometimes God gives that mercy. Other times he gives the deeper mercy of his nearness before anything around us changes.
The hidden place is not escape. It is communion. It is where the soul stops performing long enough to be held.
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 91:1
Reflection Questions
- Where have you been seeking comfort apart from God's presence?
- What would it look like to abide before trying to fix everything?
- Who might need the same gentle comfort God is giving you?
Prayer
Father, draw me back to the hidden place. Teach my heart to rest under your shadow before I rush to carry what was never mine to hold. Amen.
