Psalms 139:7-10
Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, (3) You are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
Most people earnestly desire to walk through life with a sense of confidence and assurance. Yet, you sometimes come to the end of your day or week feeling worn out. Your nerves are frazzled and you feel depleted. You seem to be in a season of trials, walking through valleys, water, and fire. While you realize that there must be a purpose, you feel totally isolated and find yourself asking the question, “Lord, where are You?”
Be reminded today that you do not journey through this life alone. Our loving heavenly Father is and has been with each believer every single day. He travels with us side-by-side and hand-in-hand. We are walking in the presence of the living God, whose Spirit abides with us and is in us. (John 14:16, 17)
No matter what season of life you are in—no matter how long, short, painful, or easy it might be—God wants you to know you are never alone. He is with you always. (Matthew 28:20) What an encouraging thought! David reflected on this reassurance in Psalm 139: he realized that no matter where we might go, the Lord is right there with us. We are never beyond the reach of a God who is full of loving-kindness (1 Chronicles 16:34), mercy, and comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:3)
Friend, remember that God is faithful and omnipresent. You have a partner in this life—a friend that sticks closer than a brother. (Proverbs 18:24) And He will never leave or forsake you, on this day or any day. Have a wonderful time walking with Him today.
