his presence and heard his voice. “It’s
all right Dad! You’re here. I’m not afraid.”

CONCLUSION:
Missionary Harold Morris was
engaged in a speaking tour in the United States when his “foreign field” was
attacked and over run by the communists.
Upon the hearing of this saddening news, many suggested that he remain
in the United States. The veteran missionary
stood before a large crowd in Little Rock, Arkansas and humbly said, “I must go
back! I would be much more safe under
the bombs of the communists while in God’s will than I would be here in America
out of God’s will.” He had found God’s
secret place!
We cannot hide from God; but
we can hide in God!
