Heavenly Father, King David asked some very interesting questions: "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?" He then lists a number of places where he might try: "the heavens... the depths... the wings of the dawn... the far side of the sea..." but You are always there. He even thinks: "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” but then reminds himself: "Even the darkness will not be dark to You; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as Light to You"
No matter what we think, no matter where we go, You are always there. I might ask myself "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" I suppose this depends on how I think of You? If I think of You waiting to pounce on me every time I break the Law, like some sort of cosmic policeman, then surely it is a bad thing, and that's why I look to escape. But I don't believe You are like that at all. To see what You are really like I must look to Jesus
Lord Jesus, when I look to You, I don’t see a policeman, I see a Friend, an Advocate, someone who loves me and walks alongside me. Someone who defends me and is on my side. Someone who never wants me to feel alone or be alone. Someone who would rather die than see me suffer for my sins. So, I don’t want to escape; rather I want to run into Your arms, where I am safe and loved forever. I love You, Lord, because You first loved me. Thank You
Amen
