Aim: To find our refuge—always and only—in Jesus.
Doctrine: Despite all hopes to the contrary, the fall (and sin) leave us nowhere to escape (from God). Our first father (Adam) tried this, without success; all of us try it, too—though it is bound to fail.
Exegesis: The futility of hiding from God: the Lord covers every place (vv. 40-42), avenges every sin (vv. 43-44), and protects every one of His own (vv. 45-47).
Further application: How to deal candidly with sin: talk to the Lord about it (honestly and humbly); and seek to hate it (sin), and to love Christ.
Key phrase: v. 44a ''He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit, and he who gets out of the pit shall be caught in the snare.''
