Psalm 5: 11,12 "But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy. For you bless the godly, O LORD; you surround them with your shield of love."
Going to a fair or a circus can be lots of fun. The noise and hustle and bustle of the crowd and the vendors and the rides and the games call out to everyone to come and try them. Then in the midst of this is the big top. The gigantic tent where suddenly, when one enters, the din of the the circus grounds are out of eat shot and only the voice of the circus master is heard calling out. Do we have a place of shelter where only our voice is heard in the midst of the noise of the world? Where only we hear the voice of the LORD when He answers us with words of love and blessing. So seldom do we experience such quiet times alone with the LORD that we hardly know we are missing them when we don't have them. Lets try to get alone into the big top and hide a little while from the frantic noise of the world and be blessed by our LORD.
