“You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.” Psalm 32:7 NIV
I visited
the Corrie ten Boom house in Haarlem, Netherlands on Wednesday. She was the
author of the Christian classic “The Hiding Place” (1971) chronicling
her family’s protection of Jews during the WW2.
They
built a narrow secret room in her bedroom (cutaway above), accessible thru a
trap door in the back of a book case. Her story is a real life testimony to the
faithfulness of God to fulfill this promise.
This
verse is as applicable today as then, in a world where the persecution of
people for their faith is escalating.
May
the Lord in His mercy literally be a “hiding place” in times of
trouble for His people!
