כִּי יִצְפְּנֵנִי בְּסֻכֹּה בְּיוֹם רָעָה יַסְתִּרֵנִי בְּסֵתֶר אָהֳלוֹ בְּצוּר יְרוֹמְמֵנִי
For he will hide me in his Sukkah on a bad day shelter me in the shelter of his tent. On a rock he will raise me.
Actually, we create our own sanctuaries. Or, we don't.
God is present, creating the world around us with myriad opportunities for us to interact with it. And when we do, we are not always ready for the results. Perhaps the results are what we expected and hoped for; perhaps they aren't. And if they aren't, who are we?
If we are able to internalize the messages of the previous verses, to truly connect to the One expressed in יקוק, then we will find ourselves not experiencing any evil. We will experience shelter.
If not, the experience is vastly difference.
But it is we who define the experience that God is presenting to us. Not anyone else.
