Psa 31:2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

A place to Hide and Find Safety

I took this photo yesterday with my Huawei Nova 2i in the Philippines

Many people when reading this picture in their minds a group of people afraid and cowering in a house hiding from an enemy that intends to harm us. My experience and if we read the Bible we will see that we can hide in this “House of Defense”, in plain sight, even in the presence of our enemies. Along with this place of refuge comes peace and even joy. In this we are more than conquerors.

Context verses.

You can see clearly here David was not living in fear, but this “House of Defense” was a place of Faith and Rest.

Psa 31:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
Psa 31:2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
Psa 31:3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
Psa 31:4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.
Psa 31:5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
Psa 31:6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
Psa 31:7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
Psa 31:8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
