He Hideth my Soul

I recently discovered several verses which I would like to share with you.  I think you visual learners will especially appreciate the picture that is formed when we put these verses together.

Psalm 139:5-6  You go before me and follow me.  You place Your hand of blessing on my head.  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!"

Deut. 33:26-27 There is no one like the God of Israel.  He rides across the heavens to help you, across the skies in majestic splendor.  The eternal God is your refuge, and His everlasting arms are under you.  He drives out the enemy before you; He cries out, "destroy them!"

When we put these beautiful passages together we see that God is behind us, before us, above us and below us.  We are surrounded.  Safe.  Secure.  Hidden.

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord
He  taketh my burden away
He lifteth me up and I shall not be moved
He giveth me strength as my day

He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock that shadows a dry thirsty land
He hideth my life in the depths of His love
And covers me there with His hand
And covers me there with His hand
