Today I'm sharing one of the devotions from my book Wisdom for Life. I hope you enjoy it. ~ Gail
My Secret Room
Mark is an engineer, and when he realized there was dead space beneath the stairs in his house, he decided to create a secret room for his children. They access it by climbing through a kitchen cabinet, and it’s big enough for their dad to join them.
How fun is that? It’s meant to be a place to play, but it would also be a safe place to hide from an intruder.
I’ve always wanted a secret room, something accessed through a bookcase or hidden door. I’m not sure why I find this so appealing. Perhaps it’s because I sometimes want to hide from all the worldly pressures.
Recently when I was struggling with some heavy problems, my friend Linda wrote to tell me that while she was praying for me, God brought Psalm 32:7 to her mind: “You are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with joyful shouts of deliverance.”
There’s something special about a friend who writes with a Scripture attached, and God used Linda that day to remind me of such an important truth: when life hurts, when we feel broken and bruised, we have a safe place to go, a place where we can lay down our sad thoughts and rest in the love of our Lord and Protector. I am so glad that my Father thought to include a “secret room” in His love for me, a place of retreat and protection.
For Further Thought
How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you. In the presence of everyone you have acted for those who take refuge in you. You hide them in the protection of your presence; you conceal them in a shelter from human schemes, from quarrelsome tongues. (Ps. 31:19–20).💙💙💙
