Day 1: Hidden in God's House
Reading: Psalm 27:1-6
Devotional: Just as young Joash found safety hidden in God's temple for six years, we too find refuge in the presence of God. When evil surrounds us and circumstances threaten to overwhelm, God provides a hiding place. The psalmist declares, "The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?" This isn't denial of danger; it's confidence in God's protection. Jehoshabah's courage to hide Joash in the temple reminds us that sometimes God's protection comes through strategic positioning in His presence. Where are you hiding today? Are you running to the world's solutions or finding sanctuary in God's house, His Word, His presence?
Reflection: What situation in your life requires you to run to God's presence rather than rely on your own strength?
