JULY / AUGUST 2018
(“Where can I go from your Spirit?” -Psalm 139:7 NIV)
This is that time of the year when many of us like to go different places. Some of us love to go to the beach. Others like to go camping in the woods. Some set their sights on an ocean cruise in the islands. While other people love nothing more than having a “staycation.” Staying at home to relax, working in their yards or doing nothing more than catching up on their favorite movies and shows on television!
There are all kinds of healthy outlets for us to turn and spend our time during these “lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer” (Thank you, Nat “King” Cole). We are only limited by our own imaginations on what we want to do over these next few weeks. Even so, as we set our minds on what we want to do, there is someone we need to be aware of who is also part of our festivities.
Let’s remember that almighty God is with us wherever we go! The psalm writer reminds us God is everywhere and anywhere all over the heavens and earth. He asks the question that still rings true in our 21st century hearts: “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?. The night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.” Psalm 139:7,11 NIV)
You and I need many times for personal recreation. Yet, the good news is the Lord does not need a vacation! He meets us wherever we are. He never goes out of town. And, He welcomes our down times as opportunities where He can draw even closer to us than ever before. Let’s keep our hearts and minds open to what God’s Word is saying about His love and His will for our lives in every season!
