Psalm 139:7-10 (NIV) Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
Rather than viewing this passage as a negative—that God is always hovering nearby to zap us every time we make a mistake; I view this as a positive—that God is real; that he is ever near, ready to catch us when we fall. We may not always feel God’s presence, but he is always there and he is never more than a whispered prayer away.
Loving Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the promise of your continued presence in our lives. Thank you for sending people across our paths to help us when we need it most. Thank you for watching over us—not only to guide us away from wrongful choices—but to catch us when we fall.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
