“You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
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 me and 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.”
Psalms 139:5-12 NIV
These amazing verses have been going over and over in my mind this past week.
There is NOWHERE where God is not already there!
If I am awake in the early hours of the morning frustrated that I cannot sleep your Spirit is there.
When I am walking into a freezing cold sea your spirit is right there with me.
When I’m rushing in between two doctors surgeries because I went to the wrong one your Spirit is reassuringly there.
When I’m sat in a grand church waiting for a funeral to start you Holy Spirit is there.
When I’m praying and my prayers are not getting answered. When I’m not sensing Gods closeness. Even in those times your Holy Spirit is leaning close to me.
Mind blowing isn’t it?
The Holy spirit is always with those of us who love and follow Jesus.
He wants to speak into every situation of our lives. My/ our job is to listen and obey his promptings.
A prayer for us all
Holy Spirit I repent for the times I hear you speaking and I don’t respond.
I welcome your presence, your guidance, your councel, your conviction.
I ask that you flood my mind, body and soul with your presence.
So that wherever I go I will be used to change atmospheres and bring your light into the darkness.
May I bring glory to your name.
Amen
