Daily Devotional: Our Father Knows Best
By Mark Waldrop

Scripture:
"Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?"
Psalm 139:7

Reflection

Psalm 139 is a beautiful reminder of God's omnipresence and His intimate knowledge of us. Verse 7 poses two rhetorical questions that emphasize a profound truth: there is nowhere we can go that God is not already there. His Spirit is with us at all times, in all places.

In moments of joy or sorrow, in times of success or failure, God's presence surrounds us. This is not meant to be a source of fear, but of comfort. Our Heavenly Father’s constant presence means that we are never alone. His Spirit guides, protects, and sustains us through every situation.

Knowing that we cannot flee from God's presence assures us that He is always available to us. We don't need to search for Him in special places or at special times. He is with us in the ordinary moments of our day, ready to provide wisdom, strength, and comfort.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your constant presence in our lives. There is no place we can go where You are not with us. Help us to feel Your Spirit guiding and comforting us each day. When we feel lost or alone, remind us that You are near, always ready to lead us with Your loving hand. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Action Step:

Today, take a moment to acknowledge God's presence in your life. Whether you are at work, home, or running errands, pause and thank Him for being with you. Reflect on the truth that you are never alone, and let this assurance give you peace and confidence throughout your day.
