Where we choose to hide will either lead us to a place of Victory (Jesus) or a place of Defeat (anywhere else but Jesus). When we allow fear, regret, or guilt to consume us, that means we have lost sight of our sweet spot.
The Psalmist, David, made some pretty huge mistakes. He messed up big time and more than once. He could have hidden behind all of his mess, but he knew where to refuge. He hid himself in the Lord.
No matter the season, no matter the events of the day, We can trust our God. He is the foundation upon which everything else is built. So, with confidence We can both rest and walk forward knowing that our foundation is sure and our God is always faithful.
When God is our hiding place, no matter where we’ve been, what we’ve done, or who we are, we find: Forgiveness instead of Guilt, Grace instead of Shame, Confidence instead of Fear, Hope instead of Despair. God was silent but He was not absent. Watch for God's providence,we will not see His hand but we can see His Fingerprints all over the situation. The only place we're completely hidden and protected is Jesus. He's the sweet spot.
“You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” Psalm 32:7 NIV
