July 23: God is Our Hiding Place


“You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.”
— Psalm 119:114 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. God Himself is the refuge we run to for safety.
  2. His Word is the solid foundation of our hope.
  3. Shielded by His promises, we endure attacks.
  4. Faith turns hiding into confidence, not fear.
  5. His shelter provides courage to hope again.

Poem: Hidden in His Word

The fields burn dry beneath the sun.
The roads crack hard beneath my feet.
But your shield stretches wide with grace.
Your word rises stronger than the drought.
Your breath cools the broken land.

The arrows pierce the empty sky.
The stones shatter the brittle dreams.
But you plant a fortress of unseen walls.
You hide my soul beneath your wings.
You bend your name across the sky.

The night prowls for forgotten hearts.
The wolves howl through the open fields.
But you tuck me deep in your truth.
You layer my hope with endless light.
You sing over my waiting fears.

The days may grind their jagged stones.
The crowds may shout their brittle lies.
But your Word glows fierce beneath the dust.
Your promises carve rivers through rock.
Your shield stands when all else falls.

Today I hide in the fold of your word.
Today I rest inside your living shield.
You are the hope between the storms.
You are the truth louder than fear.
You are the hiding place that holds.
