HE IS THERE

Psalms 139:7-14 (138:7-14 LXX)

Where could I go from Your Spirit,
Or flee from Your face?
If I should ascend into heaven, You would be there:
If I should descend into Hades, You would be there;
If I should take up my wings at dawn
And pitch camp at the furthest part of the sea,
Even there Your hand would lead me,
And Your right hand would hold me.
And I said, “Perhaps darkness shall cover me,”
But the night shall be light to my delight;
For darkness shall not be dark because of You,
And the night shall be bright as day;
As its darkness, so also shall be its light.
For You possess my heart, O Lord;
You took hold of me from my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks to You,
For I am fearfully and wondrously made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And my soul knows this very well.

Encouraging Words

No matter where I am in life; no matter how dark or bright the situation; God is there with me, I am not alone. Never have been, never will be. Thanks be to God!

Special note: Today is the eleventh anniversary of my father’s repose and my youngest sister reposed two days ago. May their memory be eternal.
