No Place To Hide

Can a man hide himself in secret places so that 

I cannot see him? declares the Lord. 

Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.

~Jeremiah 23:24

 

When my daughter was a toddler, she loved to play Hide-and-Seek.  She would stand in the middle of the room with her eyes squeezed shut thinking no one could see her. Now that I have partially embarrassed her (I left the photos of the event out of this), let's think about something.

 

How many times do you think we do the same thing with God?  We think God can't see us or we think we can hide from Him.  Hmmmm...can we hide from Him?

 

Psalm 139:7 asks: 

"Where can I go to escape Your spirit?
Where can I flee to hide from Your presence?" 

 

I don't know about you, but I find it comforting knowing that God can never lose me in a crowd.  I find it comforting knowing that I can never hide from the love of God!  That means God knows me far better than I know myself!

 

Where can I hide from God?  The better question would be, Why would you want to hide from God?
