No Where To Hide!
“The earth is The LORD’s and all its fulness, the world and
those who dwell therein!” Psalm 24:1
“O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know my
sitting down and rising up; You understand my thoughts afar off. You comprehend
my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not
a word on my tongue, but behold, O LORD, You know it altogether. You have enclosed
me behind and before and laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too
wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it. Where can I go from Your
SPIRIT? Or where can I flee from Your Presence? If I ascend into Heaven, You
are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings
of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your
hand shall lead me. If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall cover me,’ even the
night shall be light about me; indeed, the darkness is not dark to You, but the
night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You.” Psalm
139:1-12
“I saw The LORD standing by the Altar and He said: ‘Strike
the Capitals of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake, and break them on
the heads of them all (study Amos 8). I will slay the last of them with the
sword. He who flees from them shall not get away, and he who escapes from them
shall not be delivered. Though they dig into hell, from there My hand shall
take them: thought they climb up to Heaven, from there I will bring them down; and
though they hide themselves on top of Carmel, from there I will search and take
them; though they hide from My sight at the bottom of the sea, from there I
will command the serpent and it shall bite them; though they go into captivity
before their enemies, from there I will command the sword, and it will slay
them. I will set My eyes on them for harm and not good.’” Amos 9:1-4
There are two scenarios here; first the Psalmist who
understands the awesomeness of GOD and recognizes there is nothing hidden from Him;
second GOD declares there is nowhere that people can hide from Him!
Which group are you in? Those who recognize GOD’s Sovereignty
or those trying to hide from GOD’s Judgment?
