Can You Run Away From God?
Saturday, February 11, 2023Memory Verse
“Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?” Psalm 139:7
Text: Psalm 139:7-13.
When Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, they discovered that they were naked. They probably thought God would not know that they had become naked. They therefore devised a way to hide from God in the midst of the trees in the garden. They forgot that God is their Creator and no one can hide from Him.
Our topic for devotion today is a question that individual needs to answer. God is Omniscient – The All-knowing, Omnipotent – All powerful and Omnipresent – Present everywhere. So, nobody can run away from Him.
God knows all our inward thoughts, motives, desires and fears, as well as our outward habits and actions. He knows all we do from the beginning of the day to its end. In everything we do, He encircles us with His care and lays His hand of favour upon our heads. Be open before God, tell Him all your fears, concern, desires, failure and inadequacies. He will help you.
