Psalm 31:19-20
KJV—How great is thy goodness, which thou
hast laid up for them that fear thee; which
thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee
before the sons of men! Thou shalt hide them
in the secret of thy presence from the pride
of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a
pavilion from the strife of tongues.

AMP—How great is Your goodness, which
You have laid up for those who fear, revere,
and worship You, goodness which You have
wrought for those who trust and take refuge
in You before the sons of men! In the secret
place of Your presence You hide them from
the plots of men; You keep them secretly in
Your pavilion from the strife of tongues.

Moffatt—What wealth of kindness thou hast
laid up for thy worshippers, and shown to
those who shelter with thyself! Thou hidest
them under thy wings from human plots, thou
shelterest them from the scourge of slander!

NIV—How great is your goodness, which you
have stored up for those who fear you, which
you bestow in the sight of men on those
who take refuge in you. In the shelter of your
presence you hide them from the intrigues
of men; in your dwelling you keep them safe
from accusing tongues.

KJV—Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt
preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass
me about with songs of deliverance.

Lord, preserve me from trouble; You surround
me with songs and shouts of deliverance.

Moffatt—Thou wilt be his shelter, safeguarding
him in peril, surrounding him with aid.

NIV—You are my hiding place; you will protect
me from trouble and surround me with songs
of deliverance.

Psalm 57:1
KJV—In the shadow of thy wings will I make
my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

AMP—In the shadow of Your wings will I take
refuge and be confident until calamities and
destructive storms are passed.

Moffatt—In the shadow of thy wings I shelter,
till the deadly danger passes.

NIV—I will take refuge in the shadow of your
wings until the disaster has passed.

Kenneth Copeland — Hidden In God

04 Nov

Kenneth And Gloria Copeland

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the
most High shall abide under the shadow of
the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is
my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him
will I trust…. He shall cover thee with his
feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust:
his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Psalm 91:1-2, 4

No matter where you live, there are no safe
places anymore on this earth. No matter where
you go there is no security outside of God. But
as believers, we have security everywhere we
go because God is looking after us. He’s our
shield, our fortress, our refuge.

Absolute safety belongs to the one who
says of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my
fortress.” That is the one of whom David said,
“He shall cover thee with his feathers, and
under his wings shalt thou trust; his truth shall
be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be
afraid…” (Psalm 91:4-5).

To live free while you’re here on the earth,
you must know the truth of God’s covenant
promises to you in Christ, and use that truth
like a shield and a buckler.

How do you use the truth like a shield and
a buckler? By trusting in it. By being steadfast
in your faith and by staying in the Word every
day. Proverbs 18:10 in The Amplified Bible says,
“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the
[consistently] righteous man [upright and in
right standing with God] runs into it and is
safe, high [above evil] and strong.”

When you stay in God’s Word consistently,
His words will become the first things that
come to your mind in any situation so you can
speak them out in faith. His promises will rise
up within you in times of trouble and be the
shield, fortress or refuge you need.

When events in the world start to look dark
and troubled, don’t be moved by the things
that are going on around you. Remember,
instead, that God has the ability, the wonderful
ability, to deliver you.
