` Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth ... it may be ye shall be hid
in the day of the LORD's anger' (Zeph. 2:3).
To those who know the secret place of the Most High, whose
life is `hid' with Christ in God, whose blessings are associated
with a `mystery' that had been `hid' since the ages, the words of
Isaiah 26:20 may well prove to have a message, without, of
course, in any sense robbing the passage of its literal fulfilment:
`Come, My people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy
doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until
the indignation be overpast' (Isa. 26:20).
` Rock of Ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
`The eternal God is thy Refuge'.
