Wherever I Go

Psalm 139 is a great read (so read all of it when you get the time).  Here’s a great piece of it:

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. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

I can think of very little to add to those verses that promise us that God will never leave us or forsake us. In fact, he’s given us reminders of this all around us – above us his heavens declare his glory – below us the rocks declare our firm foundation – in the morning his sun rises in faithfulness – and across the oceans we are reminded of the extent of his love.

And even in darkness – we know that He is light all around us.

So there’s actually nowhere we can hide from him, where his presence will not draw us out into his marvelous light.
