He Hideth My Soul

He Hideth My Soul

“He will hide me and set me high upon a rock.” Psalm 27:5

As I reflect on what the Lord has been showing me in recent days, I couldn’t help but think of this amazing hymn for us to focus on today – the Lord’s Day!
He Hideth My Soul

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
A wonderful Savior to me;
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
He taketh my burden away.
He holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved;
He giveth me strength as my day!

With numberless blessings each moment He crowns;
And filled with His glory divine,
I sing in my rapture, “O glory to God for such a Redeemer is mine!”

When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise
To meet Him in clouds of the sky;
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love
I’ll shout with the millions on high!

Refrain
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
That shadows the 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.

Take some time this morning to reflect on Him – YOUR wonderful Savior. – Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s Keswick

GPS – God’s Positioning System: Isaiah 13-17; Psalm 2; Proverbs 3

Compass Pointers: “Many people pay lip service to the idea of grace, but they stop there. Their conception of grace is not so much debased as nonexistent. The thought means nothing to them; it does not touch their experience at all. What is it that hinders so many who profess to believe in grace from really doing so? Why does the theme mean so little even to some who talk about it a great deal? The root of the trouble seems to be misbelieve about the basic relationship between a person and God—misbelief rooted not just in the mind but in the heart, at the deeper level of things that we never question because we always take them for granted…the doctrines of grace presupposes, and if they are not acknowledged and felt in one’s heart, clear faith in God’s grace become impossible—The moral ill desert of humankind, the retributive justice of God, the spiritual impotence of humankind and the sovereign freedom of God.”

Anchored to the Rock: If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly. The blood ceaselessly, and breathing continues ceaselessly; we are not conscious of it, but it is always going on.” Oswald Chambers
