NO PLACE TO HIDE

No Place to Hide

Even the darkness is not dark to You, [ O Lord] , And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You. Psa 139:12

It seems that it took me "forever" as I was growing up to realize that we are never truly alone. Never alone physically, never alone mentally, and certainly never alone spiritually. Someone once said, "No matter where you go.....THERE you are!!". Since I've never been away from "Myself", I am certainly glad that I get along with me!

Our souls that God created to live temporarily in these tents of a body are hard-wired to the Creator. The Lord knows where we are, what we are doing, what we are thinking, no matter where we might be.

  "For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, And He sees all his steps.  (22)  "There is no darkness or deep shadow Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. -- "Can a man hide himself in hiding places So I do not see him?" declares the LORD. "Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?" declares the LORD. Job 34:21-22, -- Jer 23:24

Being accountable to the Maker of all is a valued part of His examination of our performance while wearing this flesh. Yet there is another component in God's Fatherly role over His creation; Protecting His children from evil - from spiritual and eternal harm.

You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day;   Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.   For you have made the LORD, my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place.   No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. --  He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade on your right hand.   The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night.   The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. Psa 91:5,6,9,10, -- Psa 121:3,5-7

Be comforted that He has His eyes on you in all places, in all times. He loves watching the race. Be confident in Him that you may finish the race well!

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psa 23:4
