Where can I go from Your Spirit? <\/span>
\nOr where can I flee from Your presence? <\/span>
\nIf I ascend into heaven, You are there; <\/span>
\nIf I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. <\/span>
\nIf I take the wings of the morning, <\/span>
\nAnd dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, <\/span>
\nEven there Your hand shall lead me, <\/span>
\nAnd Your right hand shall hold me.<\/span>
\nPsalms 139:7-10<\/span><\/p>\n

This week, here on the Seeking Him<\/em><\/strong> devotional blog, we have been reminded of the\u00a0Truth that we are always in our wonderful God’s hand. \u00a0Our devotional writers have shared this understanding with us in the devotions that they have written. \u00a0Here are a few of their thoughts\u2026.<\/p>\n

In Divine Presence<\/em>, Ann<\/span><\/strong> wrote about the comfort of knowing we are always in His care….<\/p>\n

“A child of God can never move beyond God\u2019s care, guidance, and supporting strength. \u00a0He is with us in all situations in whatever the present and the future brings.<\/p>\n

‘Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?’ declares the Lord.
\n‘Do not I fill heaven and earth?\u2019 declares the Lord.
\nJeremiah 23:24<\/p>\n

His Divine Presence\u00a0shows us the following:<\/p>\n

\u2022 with God\u2019s presence we are assured of being protected, strengthened, and well taken care of
\n\u2022 fullness of Joy
\n\u2022 we need to have the fear of the Lord<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In Hold Fast<\/em>, Tina<\/span><\/strong> shared by the example of the Apostle Paul how God’s hand holds us, guides us, leads us….<\/p>\n

\n

“God had plans for Paul. \u00a0We may not see what our path is, but God does. Being trained by the best rabbi and becoming a Pharisee, Paul would know how to explain the plan of salvation in easy, simple terms, or be able to speak for hours defended why Jesus is the fulfillment of these scriptures. I mean, who else is God going to tell (as he did to Ananias):<\/p>\n

But the Lord said to Ananias,
\n‘Go! This man is my chosen instrument
\nto proclaim My name to the Gentiles and their kings
\nand to the people of Israel.
\nI will show him how much he must suffer for My name.’
\nActs 9:15-16<\/p>\n

Can we be used in this way? \u00a0Yes, we can. \u00a0All we have to be is willing subjects to go and preach the Word, teach where we can, and spread the good news to all people as God opens those doors. \u00a0Who will answer the call? \u00a0Pray, seek, learn\u2026and God will use you for His purpose.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
