“Hideaways of the rich and famous,” is the headline of our national newspaper today.

Reading that just now on the board in front of the dairy in the centre of Kaitaia reminds me of my hideaway and please let me tell you about it.

In his letter to the Colossians the apostle Paul tells the believers that their “life is now hidden with Christ in God.”

In the Psalms David tells us the following:

He says that the Lord is his hiding place.

He also prays to the Lord to hide him in the shadow of his wings.

And he knows also that the Lord will hide him in the shelter of his tabernacle in the day of trouble.

He says also that he is hiding himself in the Lord.

As believer in the Lord Jesus Christ I know that my “life is now hidden with Christ in God.”

And no, I did not buy a paper to read about the hideaways of the rich and famous, but I picked up my Bible to read what the Word of God says about my hiding place.

And remember, I do not need to drive to my hideaway; my hideaway is always with me.
