Ep. 141: Hidden in the Shelter of God‘s Presence

SHOW NOTES:

 

In Podcast Episode 141, “Hidden in the Shelter of God’s Presence,” Kim discusses the comfort Christ-followers can receive resting in God’s presence during challenging times. Sometimes that presence will mean physical safety, but it always means a place of emotional rest.

 

The primary scripture text for this episode is 1 Samuel 23:9-14 with 14 as the focal verse:

 

“David now stayed in the strongholds of the wilderness and in the hill country of Ziph. Saul hunted him day after day, but God didn’t let Saul find him.”

 

ADDITIONAL VERSES:

 

“For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. Interlude” (Psalm 32:7 )

 

“How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world. You hide them in the shelter of your presence, safe from those who conspire against them. You shelter them in your presence, far from accusing tongues.” (Psalms 31:19-20)

 

Psalm 139:7-12

 

Psalm 91
