You are my hiding place; You keep me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah."
(Psalm 32:7)
In a world full of chaos and uncertainty, we all long for a place of safety; a place where we can rest, heal, and be known without fear. David, no stranger to trouble or inner turmoil, declares that God Himself is that place. “You are my hiding place,” he says. Not a location. Not a feeling. A person.
When guilt weighed heavy on David’s heart, when consequences closed in, and when enemies pursued him, he found that hiding in God brought a peace that nothing else could provide. This wasn’t escapism, it was refuge. God didn’t simply offer shelter; He became it.
In our struggles with addiction, shame, or fear, we’ve often hidden in the wrong places, such as the substances we used, our denial of the truth, or isolation. But these places couldn’t protect us. They only deepened our wounds. Now we’re invited to a better hiding place; one where grace covers, love surrounds, and freedom sings over us.
God surrounds us with songs of deliverance. Imagine God rejoicing over you and declaring your freedom with a melody of grace and redemption. This is the soundtrack of the redeemed: not shame, not condemnation, but deliverance.
Where have you been hiding? Are you seeking safety in something temporary, or are you resting in the arms of the One who can truly protect and deliver?
Heavenly Father, You are my hiding place. Thank You for surrounding me with songs of deliverance and giving me a place of refuge through life’s struggles. Help me to trust in You, to find peace in Your presence, and to rest in the security of Your love. Amen.
Redemptive Recovery (RR) is a Christian recovery group and program that is modeled on biblical truths. We believe that Jesus Christ has the power to transform our lives and that the bible is our roadmap.
