Psalm 139:7-12 Where shall I go from Your spirit, or where shall I flee from Your presence? 8 If I ascend to heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning and dwell at the end of the sea, 10 even there Your hand shall guide me, and Your right hand shall take hold of me.11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light shall be as night about me,” 12 even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines as the day, for the darkness is like light to You.
Are you feeling alone or abandoned? Guess what? If you are, I have some good news to share with you! God wanted me to tell you that you are NOT alone! He is with you wherever you go! This is indeed good news to all those who are feeling lonely and or alone.
God’s spirit is inside of you, therefore God is always with you! Yes, your body is the temple where God’s spirit dwells” 1 Cor. 6:19, MEV).
God is “omnipresence!” This means that there is no place where God is not at all times. He is everywhere all the time! Isn’t that good news!
The Psalmist David ask several rhetorical questions in this text, and in doing so, He is making a statement of God’s everpresene with us.
Whenever the enemy of your mind shows up with his lies about God not being with you, remind yourself that the Lord your God is with you when you rise, lie down, when you go to the grocery store, when you go on a walk, when you go to work, church, or anywhere else, God is there!
Emmanuel! God with us!
