Have you ever tried to run away from God? Don’t try; it can’t be done (read.vv.7-10). No matter where we go in the will of God, He is there.

Why should we flee from God? Why should we try to find height or depth, east or west, darkness or light? (vv.11,12). Sometimes I’ve found myself in dark places and have wondered, “Does God knows?” He indeed knows. If we sin, we go out into the darkness, but God sees us. And sometime when we are walking with the Lord, we still find ourselves in darkness. But that darkness is as light to God.

God is everywhere and sees everything. Rather than flee from Him, we should flee to Him. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Ps.46:1). Nothing can separate us from the love of God—neither height nor depth, east nor west, darkness nor light (Rom.8:38,39).

God promises to “never leave you nor forsake you” (Heb.14:5). The next time you go through dark days, remember that God knows your problems and needs. You may take refuge in Him; He will see you through.
