Psalm 139:7-10
“Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence? If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.”
This psalm is a personal meditation, likely by King David, expressing deep wonder at God's intimate knowledge and pervasive presence. The psalmist marvels that there is no place in creation, from the heights of heaven to the depths of the underworld or the farthest reaches of the earth, where God is not present.
What does it mean for you to consider a divine presence that transcends all physical boundaries and personal hiding places?
