Our hiding place

Yesterday we read from Psalm 32:
You are my hiding place;
You preserve me from trouble;
You surround me with shouts of deliverance.

God is indeed our hiding place, where we go for Sabbath time of quiet, contemplation, and forgiveness. Lent is a time that is especially appropriate for finding the hiding place that God has prepared for you. Like the wilderness Jesus encountered, it may be a place where God supports you in the tests challenging you. It may be a place where regrets are offered up to the compassionate love of Christ. It may be a place where God alone attends your thoughts and offers the peace that passes understanding, to "preserve you from trouble".


Wherever your hiding place with God is, come to that place in Lent. Know the shouts of deliverance upholding you.
