Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise up on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me; your right hand will hold me fast. (Psalm 139:7-10)
There is simply no place that God is not. I love this image. Overwhelmed by God’s presence, I try to flee from him—but there is nowhere to go. Wherever I run, he is already there, waiting to guide and protect me.
Question for today: Where, and why, do you try to hide from God?
Michael, after asking ourselves this, your question might evoke ideas to write about and help our readers too, so I highlighted this on the Christian Poets & Writers blog – http://christianpoetsandwriters.blogspot.com. God bless.
Morning Sir, how very true. Hope you’re doing well. I’ve been very sick but am mending. Thanks for the word, the reminder… To come clean with God and keep short accounts….
