5 You have encircled me;
you have placed your hand on me. (Psalm 139:5 CSB)

Which direction do you go to get away from God?

Well, there really is no way you can go to get away from Him. Furthermore, why should you want to? But isn’t it comforting to know that God is wherever you are, wherever you go, wherever you turn!

Yet too, this can be frightening. If we find ourselves running from God there is no where we can go to hide from Him. But we should never find ourselves in this state. God knows how sinful we can be and He still loves us. No matter what you have done, God loves you.

But some people simply run from this love. They do not want to have to deal with God in their lives. They either simply do not believe or they believe and reject. Either of these states will not find God not in pursuit. God loves us so much that even in rejection, He comes to save us. How incredible is that!

Wherever you go, there God is. But most importantly, while you are encircled by Him, His hand is upon you. He is there to be your comfort and your guide. All you have to do is recognize this.
