Sometimes, a hiding place is a matter of life and death. Consider the story of Elijah and Jezebel in the Old Testament. Elijah ran and hid in a cave to avoid the death threats of Jezebel after he killed off her idols (1 Kings 19:1-11). For us, hiding may just be a means of avoidance. Where are you hiding, or what are you hiding behind? Is it blame, disappointment, discouragement, anger? Don’t run; don’t hide. You’re a mighty warrior (Judges 6:12) and more than a conqueror (Romans 8:31-37).
