"For in the day of trouble he [God] will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock." Psalm 27:5

"In the movie, 'The Bear,' a bear cub whose mother died took up with a male bear. They traveled together. One of my favorite parts happened when they got separated and the little bear came upon a mountain lion. When the mountain lion came at the cub he stood up trying to scare it away. The mountain lion all of a sudden started backing away. 

The little bear cub thought he had scared him away but what had really happened was that the big bear came up behind the little bear. It wasn't the cub but the big bear that frightened the lion away. We may not look very frightening [to our enemy, the devil] but we have a Father that is all powerful [standing behind us]"

 "Hide-and-Seek,"

"Sometimes it seems that life 

makes little or no sense 

as we wander blind searching for a ray of light 

to lead us to the truth or to a God who isn't there. 

But if we will stand still and listen with our heart we will hear a rustling in the leaves, 

feel the brush of angel's wings and sense the presence of a loving 

Father playing hide-and-seek, waiting patiently  wanting us to find him."
