Psalm 139:7 (ESV) - Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?
Have you ever used a GPS app that shows exactly where you are? No matter where you go, that little blue dot follows you. But technology can fail—signals drop, batteries die, apps crash. God’s presence, however, is nothing like that. He never loses track of you, and He will never leave you.
In Psalm 139:7–10, David says, “Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! …even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.”
God’s presence is constant—active and accessible. He is present to punish sin (Amos 9:1–4), to sustain creation (Colossians 1:17; Hebrews 1:3), and to bless His people (Genesis 28:15; Matthew 28:20). For those who trust in Christ, His presence brings comfort, joy, and strength.
Through Jesus, the curtain of separation was torn (Luke 23:45), giving us direct access to God’s presence (Hebrews 10:19–22). We no longer need a special person, a ritual, or a special place. God is with us always, and the Holy Spirit dwells within us, working in our lives to bless us.
Many believers know this truth but live as if God is far away. Today, practice His presence—pause, speak to Him, listen to His Word, and walk in step with Him.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You that I am never alone. Thank You for Your constant presence in my life—guiding me, sustaining me, and blessing me. Help me to be more aware of You today, to trust You in every situation, and to rest in the assurance that You will never leave nor forsake me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
