One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: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 inquire in His temple. For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock. Psalm 27:4-5

I remember when the girls were young, I would hide my face behind my hands and say, “Where’s Mommy?” Then, dropping my hands, I’d say, “Here she is!” to which they would smile and laugh.

Didn’t take much to entertain them, or hide from them for that matter. But there’s something about knowing your enemy is looking for you and finding a place to hide where he can not touch you. That, my friend, is absolutely awesome!

That is what happens when we seek the face of our Father, when we come before Him in love, not asking for anything but giving Him the attention He so deserves. I can be in the middle of the busiest, craziest day and whisper His sweet name, and He whisks me away to a peaceful place.

I don’t know about you, but that is worth millions! Lord, you can sweep me off my feet anytime you want to. I know that when I play hide and seek with you, it’s the best, and you always make me smile, especially when you try to hide behind those large and tender hands.

Today, I’m hidden in Your arms as You cover me. I’m safe here. I’m loved here. I’m at peace here.
