“Create a hideaway you’ll never want to leave …”

I am reading that on the front cover page of a  flooring catalogue. It is all about “Winter Living.” For those who don’t know, JUNE – AUGUST is winter here in New Zealand. (But I live in Kaitaia, the “Winterless North.”)

KAITAIA, THE “WINTERLESS NORTH”

Reading that reminds me of the hiding place David talks about in the Bible.

In Psalm 32:7 he calls the LORD his hiding place. He says that the LORD will protect him from trouble. He says also that the LORD will surround him with songs of deliverance.

In the verses before he admonishes the godly to pray to the LORD while he may be found. There we read also about the promise that the mighty waters will not reach the godly.

The hiding place of David is also my hiding place. I do not need to create a hideaway, my hiding place existed before I was ever created, but my hiding place is a hideaway I will never want to leave.
