December 13
(Psalm 139:7-12 NIV) “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? {8} If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. {9} If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, {10} even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. {11} If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," {12} even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.”
(Jeremiah 23:23-24 NIV) ““Am I only a God nearby," declares the Lord, "and not a God far away? {24} Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?" declares the Lord. "Do not I fill heaven and earth?" declares the Lord.””
Trying to hide from God is futile. There are no secret places where God cannot find us. He always knows where we are. Nothing is hidden from God’s sight. His eyes see everything! When we sin, this is a terrifying truth. We cannot conceal our transgressions. Our lives are an open book. When we are trying to hide our sin, we hate the prying eyes of God. We despise this God who will not leave us alone. But when we are lost, it becomes a different story. Now we want a God who knows all things, who sees everything, and who knows where we are. When we are lost and in distress, we appreciate a God who can track us down. We love having a God who can find us anywhere. There is a fine line between hiding and being lost. Our hiding souls can realize in a heartbeat that we are lost. Pray for that revelation. It will change everything. -- Friar Tuck’s Word of the Day
