THE SECRET PLACE

All saints dwell in the house of the lord(Prov 23:6). It is also referred to as a secret pavilion from the strife of tongues(Psalms 31:20). This place of refuge is important especially in a dry season, a season of war. There is a season of drawing the sword, and a season of retreat into hiding. This is a season of retreating to hide in the stronghold. The hiding place is the glory of God. It is a garment of protection from contrary elements, the seal or cover of men. Glory can be good or bad depending on the source. The glory of God is good. It is the strong city of believers. It is rich in depth and diverse and called the manifold glory of God for this reason. Glory is mostly on many occasions referred to as wealth in earlier practiced modes of sealing scripture, especially in the old testament. The old testament is quite rich in teachings of the glory of God though.
