A Worthy Saviour
For He will conceal me in His shelter in the day of adversity; He will hide me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high on a rock. Then my head will be high above my enemies around me; I will offer sacrifices in His tent with shouts of joy. I will sing and make music to the Lord .
Psalms 27:5,6
I am sure being concealed in a tent is something David would be well aware of. It reminds me of a game children play, being hidden from someone who is in, in the game Hide and Seek. Yet, the seeker here has evil intent. Imagine being sought by ISIS to be sold as a sex slave when you are only a child. You have run into a stranger's tent seeking salvation and been given safety and an assurance your persuers would not find you. The fear in your heart as you heard those who seek you close by, asking your host where you were, in fact demanding to search His tent and Him defying them and saying: "No! I told you there are no children hidden here!" A very scary, tense moment follows. Would they listen to your saviour? Did He have the power to protect you against the enemy? Was He strong enough?
Why would a peefect stranger help me? Why would He go to such trouble for me? Does He have a hidden agenda? Can He be trusted?
David, the psalmist thought so. The whole chapter 27 tells us this. In fact he wants to spend his days in his saviour's courts, in His temple, singing praises. He obviously knows this saviour and knows He is worthy of praise, good and reliable.
I have found Him to be a comforter, a shield, a protector, provider and more. He wants my company, without strings. He loves me and wants to know me and spend time with me. How good is that? Why not trust Him and try Him. He actually invites us to test Him and see if He is not true. Amen!
