He holds us closely

If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me.  Psalm 139:9-10. NKJV

God is everywhere and He knows everything - omnipresent and omniscient. David asked, 'Where can I go from your Spirit?' v7. But he knew that no one can escape God. 'Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? 8If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. 9If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,'  v7-9. David knew that wherever, he would bump into God. He cannot be avoided. He inhabits the universe from top to bottom.

We need to accept and be grateful that, wherever we are, God's right hand will hold on to us V10. There isn't a shred of darkness too dark for us to hide from His sight v11. Just think, with God, the night shines like the day v12. Why is that? Because He is the Light John 8:12. So wherever we are or, whatever situation we are in He is ever-present. 

We can call on Jesus anytime of day or night and He will be there with us. Our pastor may sleep at night, as do the elders and our family and friends but, Jesus is wide awake ready, just in case we want to chat with Him. Many disabled people have emergency call facilities in the form of a necklace round their neck or a watch. If they fall over or become ill, they can press a button and there is a response. As Christians, Jesus is our call centre, we don't even need this because, if something happens to us, Jesus sees all and responds to our aid. Amazing.

These days it is difficult to even get a doctor's appointment, but Jesus' door is always available. But if it is so easy to speak with Jesus, why don't we do it more often? Why do we let things get so bad before we pray to Him. He is always beside us; He is always holding us closely to His side. He doesn't sleep, instead He watches over us just making sure that we are ok.

What a wonderful, loving position to be in. Jesus shows His care for us on a daily basis. Thank you Lord.

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:

Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today. 

In Jesus' Name. Amen'
