“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 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.” Psalms 139:7-10 (NIV)
There is nowhere God is not! God is everywhere all the time! Whether you are 100 feet beneath the ocean’s surface scanning coral reef in the Caribbean on a scuba excursion or reclining in the cabin of a 747 jet traveling internationally, God is there. You cannot escape God’s presence. God is omnipresent.
God’s hand will guide you. God’s right hand will hold you fast. You are never in a safer place than in the Hand that formed you and fashioned you. God is bigger than your circumstances. God is stronger than your enemies.
Are you worrying about anyone right now? Is there a family member or a friend that you are burdened for right now? Do you have someone in your life that you want to be with, but you just can’t be with them at this time? Allow the reality that God’s presence is not limited by your limitations to minister to you. God is both present with you and with the person whom you are concerned about. You can’t be at two places at one time, but God can.
Place your confidence in God’s ability to be your sufficiency and your source of strength. Trust God to make His presence known to you and the person you are burdened for.
Pursuing God,
