The Perfect Hideout
"Trust in Him at all times, o people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge." Psalm 62:8
Have you ever had one of those days when you just didn't want to get out of bed and face reality? You 'd prefer to hide out under the covers
What do you do when you just want to disappear from life for a while? Do you look for a heaven in your friends or family? Trust in your own talents and abilities? Try to comfort yourself through food?
While those things may provide a temporary sense of security, they are - at best - flimsy shelters to stand under. God is the only real refuge, the only hiding place you can really trust to protect you during the storms of life Trust God; pour out your problems to him; take refuge in the only perfect hideout.
