No Hiding Place

January 17, 2025

If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. Psalm 139:8

Growing up each of has played the game hide and seek. One person would try to find the others that are hiding, and everyone who was hiding wanted to find the best hiding place so they would not be found. Eventually, the seeker would find all of those who were hiding but they had to look. There are times when we call ourselves hiding from The Lord. We stop going to Church, stop attending Bible Study we miss one Sunday, and the others seem easier to miss. There are times when we are hiding from The Lord and we do not even realize it. There is no place we can hide from The Lord. The Scripture reminds us that if we ascend into Heaven He is there, and if we make our bed in hell He is there also. I encourage you today to remember there is no place you can hide from The Lord. There is not a place on this earth where The Lord cannot see you, and He always has His eyes on you. You cannot play a game of hide and seek with The Lord because He knows all and He sees all. He is with you wherever you go, and you should not just call Him when you need Him, and hide all the other times, but you should call on Him at all times. If you are hiding from The Lord, stop because He sees you, and knows just where you are. If you are not hiding make your choice to ascend into Heaven, and not make your bed in hell. I have made my choice and I need The Lord to be with me at all times, Since I am not hiding from Him, I know for sure, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, I know that there is no hiding from you. I never want to hide from you. I want to be where you are, and I need you every day of my life. Forgive m for hiding when I wanted to do my own thing, but thank you for never leaving me and always knowing where I am. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
