When I was a small boy, like most boys, I had a vivid imagination.  I would watch monster movies with my older brothers and then go to bed and get scared in the dark.  I imagined that if I covered myself with my blanket pulled over my head that whatever was in my room couldn’t see me.  Being hidden beneath my trusty blanket gave me the peace I needed to go to sleep.  I would almost bet you’d be able to relate to that experience in your own childhood story.

Believe it or not in the Bible there is call for us as God’s children to use our faith and imagination to realize we have been safely covered and hidden.  If we get hold of this revelation is can really help us in our times of anxiousness and fear.  It can also help us in our times of temptation.

Colossians 3:2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

The reality of being hidden with Christ in God is everything!  What can see us in that place and what could possibly get past God to get to us?

Even better is the idea of what we can discover about our God as our Father from being hidden with Christ in Him.  There’s a lot of love to discover in that place.

It is from our position of being hidden with Christ in God that we discover who He is, what He has done and who we truly are and what we are to be.

You know, without the security of my trusty blanket as a kid I would have had many a restless nights and it would have taken a toll on me physically and mentally.

When it comes to spirit and soul true rest belongs to those who have the revelation of what it means to be in Christ.   Our heavenly identity is inalterably tied to your position in Christ.

Today we are victorious not because circumstances will end the way we want but because despite circumstances and fearful challenges our life is hid with God in Christ!

Our security is in Jesus and we are citizens of His kingdom which is righteousness, joy and peace in the Holy Spirit.   Having a tough time?  Try to remember that you are under a powerful covering today.
