There's no escaping!

Greetings in the name of Jesus!

I've been reminded recently that there is no escaping God! He is everywhere! Everywhere you go, He is there. For those who have decided to turn away from God - There is no escaping God. Even if you don't call Him your Lord - He is there with you. You can't escape His love or His presence.

Scripture confirms that we cannot escape from His presence. Because He is everywhere!

Psalm 139 says:

1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.
5 You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, [a] you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to [b] me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.
19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD,
and abhor those who rise up against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

For those who are called to Officership - God is with you. Ask Him to give you the time He wants you to enter College. He is very faithful. Trust Him!

For those reading this.... Are you running?

I liked what you said. How true, I just dont understand sometime when in the past someone has knowledge of God and yet they just turn thier back to Him. Keep up the writing, someone will turn to Christ.
God Bless

Hey Stobes! You end up getting very tired if you keep trying to run from God, and somehow He always seems to keep pace and be there just when you think He is not.The great thing is when you finally stop and allow God to use you amazing things start to happen.
You are always in our prayers, look forward to the next chance to catch up.
God Bless
