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. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide meand the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you;the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
Sometimes I do things that make me want to hide from God just like Adam and Eve did when they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But even if I want to hide the verses from above come to mind. There is nowhere I can go from the presence of God. There is nowhere I can flee that God isn't already there. And even if I try to hide in the darkness even the darkness becomes like day in the presence of God.
And oddly enough, I'm okay with this. I'm okay with God always being there wherever I go, and there being no place that I can hide from Him. Even when I do Him wrong His presence reminds me to kneel down before Him. I have no one who loves me more than He. I don't think there ever could be. It's a crazy notion, but one that is welcomed when you come to realize what matters most.
Right now there is so much uncertainty in my life. I thought I had things figured out, and now I realize I have nothing figured out. But one thing that is clear is the love of of my savior, Jesus Christ. And because of His love I know that what matters the most is Him. I thought that there was nothing that I could live without but I was wrong. It's Him that I can't live without. And this truth made me realize that uncertainties and having nothing figured out at the end... have nothing on me. :)
