You Are My Hiding Place, God
By Vivian Bricker

Bible Reading:
“You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance” (Psalm 32:7). 

Corrie Ten Boom was a strong follower of Jesus who lost everything to the Nazis. Her family protected Jews from being taken to Nazi concentration camps by hiding them. However, one day, they were discovered. Corrie, along with her family, was taken to various jails and concentration camps. Corrie’s father died in prison ten days after arriving, while she and her sister, Betsie, were taken to Ravensbrück concentration camp. 

Betsie died while in Ravensbrück, which severely affected Corrie. The two sisters were extremely close and reli

Here is a rebuke for the believer who has not made appropriate progress in the faith. And here is a warning that is designed to keep us close to Jesus—and to unsettle any who may not be truly converted. But the comfort is that true believers are safe in Christ because God’s promise and saving action in Jesus is our sure hope, an anchor for the soul.

Learn that love is like many other things in life—the more you give, the more you receive.

Why did Jesus ask God about being forsaken? Did the Father forsake the Son? My denomination taught me that you can "fall away," and they used 2 Peter 2 as their proof. Can you explain that passage? Are some Catholics saved? What does God think about their praying to saints? What is a saint?

God often leads His people to places where human strength is not enough. In this powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef takes us to Joshua 3, where Israel faced the Jordan River at flood stage—an impossible crossing by human standards, but a divine assignment from God.

The Ark went first, showing that the living God goes before His people. Victory did not come through better strategy, but through consecration—repentance, surrender, and faith in God’s unchanging Word.

As soon as the priests’ feet touched the water, God acted. There was no turning back. The same call stands today: believers must stop waiting for perfect conditions and start obeying the Lord with bold faith.

This episode calls you to:

When God goes before His people, impossibility becomes the place where His power is revealed.

Scripture Focus: Joshua 3
