“I can never escape from Your Spirit!
I can never get away from Your presence!
If I go up to Heaven, You are there;
if I go down to the grave, You are there.
If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
even there Your hand will guide me,
and Your strength will support me.
I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light around me to become night –
But even in darkness I cannot hide from You.
To You the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same.” – Psalm 139:7-12
When we stop to think of the gift of Christ’s Spirit that lives inside all who believe in Him, I can’t help but think it’s impossible to not be in awe of this indescribable gift. I wonder if those were some of David’s thoughts as he penned these words, in a state of awe and wonder, over the comfort and inescapable gift of the Spirit of God.
There is nowhere we can run-to, or escape-from, the presence of our Holy God. He has complete access to His entire creation… so there’s literally no where He can’t go. How amazing is that?
The gift of the Holy Spirit goes with us wherever we go…never will we be alone. He is our lifeline that we cling to when we feel like we’re barely hanging on. He is the true joy that rises up inside us when celebrating. From the brightest of days, to the darkest of nights, we can never escape the Love that continuously woos us under His protection…His guidance…And the manifestation of His presence.
So may you find comfort in His presence…and WITH His presence. Hold on a little tighter to the Truths that He’s whispering to you. And be able to close your eyes in reflection of the safety that He’s surrounding you with. Far beyond our own strength, He promises to carry us through.
