– Scripture:

Is there any place I can go to avoid your Spirit? to be out of your sight? If I climb to the sky, you’re there! If I go underground, you’re there! If I flew on morning’s wings to the far western horizon, You’d find me in a minute; you’re already there waiting! Then I said to myself, “Oh, he even sees me in the dark! At night I’m immersed in the light!” It’s a fact: darkness isn’t dark to you; night and day, darkness and light, they’re all the same to you.

                    Psalm 139:7–12 MSG

– Reflection:

                    We Cannot Hide From The Father 

I love that the Psalmist says you can never fall so low or get yourself in a place where you’re beyond God’s reach, that God won’t be there to pick you up. He doesn’t hold your mistakes against you. You’re not too far off course and haven’t failed too many times. Be encouraged that wherever you are in your life, whatever you’ve done, God is right there. He’s right there with mercy, forgiveness, and hope – not with judgment or condemnation. God is there to free you from guilt and release you from condemnation. He’s breathing into your life in a new way with fresh vision and passion. New doors are about to open. What He started in your life, He’s going to finish.

Where do we go from here?

Now don’t write yourself off, and don’t write anyone else off. Don’t give up on or quit praying for your loved ones. There’s no depth to which God won’t stoop in order to free you, restore a family member, or bring your child back home.

Our Prayer for Today

Father, thank you for all your grace and mercy that help us to stay present in this reality called life. It amazes us every day that you are always there for us. Each person that has not allowed you into their hearts, I hope they allow this today. It is great knowing that there is a GOD that will go to the bottom of HELL to get me out and my mind and body safe from harm. Amen
