I like that metaphor, “hid with Christ in God”. I get a picture of me tucked away in a little pocket or pouch inside Jesus. Much like a baby kangaroo is tucked away inside of her mommy’s pouch. No one knows that she is there unless she chooses to pop her fuzzy little head out. The pouch is a part of the mommy kangaroo, not some external appendage but a part of her made for the express purpose of holding her little one. Baby is warm, feels secure and is safe as long as she stays hidden in the little pocket or pouch. That is how I want to be. Hidden in Jesus all safe and warm.
