Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
Psalms 139:7-10
A child of God can never move beyond God’s care, guidance, and supporting strength. He is with us in all situations in whatever the present and the future brings.
Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him? Declares the Lord.
“Do not I fill heaven and earth?’ declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 23:24
His Divine Presence shows us the following:
• with God’s presence we are assured of being protected, strengthened, and well taken care of
• fullness of Joy
• we need to have the fear of the Lord
Should you not fear me? declares the LORD.
Should you not tremble in My presence?
I made the sand a boundary for the sea, an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.
The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail; they may roar, but they cannot cross it.
Jeremiah 5:22
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Psalm 111:10; Proverbs 1:7, 9:10). Therefore we need to fear the Lord and not just do our own things in our own ways—for that is sin. In as much as we cannot hide anything from God let us train ourselves to live a holy life which is pleasing unto God. Hate sin and do good always. Bearing in mind that all things are open in His sight. Do not steal because you are alone by yourself…remember the One Who is invisible. May the good Lord help us remain faithful in His sight in the mighty name of Jesus.

Dear Lord, I thank You for You are the great God, the I AM WHO I AM, always present. We give You all the praise and glory for what You have spoken to us through Your Word. Thank You that You gave us another chance to make amends with You knowing that You are omnipresent God. Forgive us for making You too small in our lives and living our lives pleasing ourselves alone not knowing we are grieving You. Lord, forgive us and create in us a clean heart. As we are starting all over, give us the grace to realize You are an ever-present God. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
