His Presence
 
Reading: Psalm 139:7-12, 7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," 12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.”
 
I don’t know about you but when I am driving down the road and I glance to the side and see a police car, my heart begins to race. Then it transitions into another physical response by running through a checklist: what’s my speed, do I have my seatbelt on, do I have my cell phone in my hand? But, when you see in your review mirror that he’s not pulling out after you and you’re at a “safe distance” you relax and stop thinking about making sure you’re doing everything right. Now, imagine, he DID pull out and began following you. How do you drive and how do you perform in that situation?
 
God says that He is with you wherever you are. Everywhere! Yes, with you as you sit down in front of your TV or your computer… with you in the dark, with you in your car, with you when you think no one else is with you or looking, or would ever know.
 
Today, take Jesus with you everywhere you go. Everywhere! Although God IS everywhere… today… welcome Him with you everywhere you go and involve Him in everything you do.
 
Go through your schedule of your day, how can you involve God all throughout your day? (be specific)
 
 
What would you normally do today that you would need to change, with Jesus looking over your shoulder? (be honest… He already knows)
 
 
 

REVIEW
 
What did you do different today with Jesus right by your side?
 
 
How did this affect you?
