Psalm 139: 7 (NIV)
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where
can I flee from your presence?
|
 |
| God claims lordship over all the details of our lives.* |
 |
We tend to assume that David wrote
the words in this verse because he wished to hide from God. What could make you want to
flee from God’s presence? Guilt? Shame? Fear? You do know that you can’t hide
from him, don’t you? So why not face him with your dirty secret since he
already knows about it anyway? What have you got to lose – besides your guilt,
shame, and fear?
Actually, the psalm from which this
verse is taken is all about how marvelous it is to be watched over by a God who
is omniscient and omnipresent. David finds comfort in the knowledge that God is
never out of touch, ever on the job, and always working things out for our
good. From birth to the end of life, our God is intimately involved in the
details of our lives.
Still
concerned about your guilt? That’s one of the details he has taken care of. He
sent his Son to wipe your record clean. No need to run – you have nothing to
hide if Jesus is your Lord.

| When you feel like running away, claim your privilege as a child of God and approach the throne of grace. There you will find the personal and tailored help you need.* |
