ASLC Devotions -- Wednesday

Psalm 32:7 You are a hiding-place for me;
   you preserve me from trouble;
   you surround me with glad cries of deliverance.


It's the summer blockbuster season at the movies. One type of movie that comes out a lot in the summer is the big suspense, slasher movie. "I Know What You Did Last Summer." "Night on Elm Street." I've never really liked that kind of movie. But I have an image in my head of what they're all basically like. Someone is running screaming at the top of their lungs away from someone "out to get them." Trying desperately to reach the safe place. Maybe it's a closet. Maybe it's the police station. Who knows.

I've never had a slasher chasing me. Have you? But I know what it's liked to be stalked. By fear. By self-doubt. By worries. By a lack of enough. Maybe you have too.
But we've got a hiding place more effective than any closet or police station. God is our hiding-place. And God is stronger than anything that might be chasing you.

In Christ,
Pastor Seth
