DAY FOUR

“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.”

Psalm 139:7-10

COMMENT

Have you ever been alone and felt really scared?  God’s promise is that you are never alone, even though there may be no other human being with you.  David said that he could not escape God’s presence, even if he tried.  No matter where he tried to run, God was always there.  But God is not with you to catch you out when you do wrong.  In yesterday’s reading you discovered that God’s hand is on you to protect you from harm and to guide you along the right way.  Today’s Scripture is telling you the same thing.  God wants you to know that, wherever you are, you will never be left alone.  He will always be there with you.

PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING

What does it mean to you that God is always with you?  Now is the time to thank Him for His loving presence with you every moment of your day and every step of your way.
