Where Is God When I Really Need Him?
David Davis
Psalm 139:7-12
Psalm 139:7-12 - ''Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.''
God is never far from you. You may be far from Him.
I. THE PLACES OF HIS PRESENCE
Has it ever dawned on you that God never has to go anywhere? God is everywhere!
Jeremiah 23:24 - ''Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.''
We have the idea that God lives in the church building. That idea alters the way men approach God when they pray. They talk in a normal voice until they pray.
I remember being with a pastor in a revival crusade and hearing him pray. His voice changed when he got behind the pulpit. His voiced got dramatic and deeper when he stood and said, ''May we pray.''
He sounded like he had a steeple in his throat. ''Oh Lord, we come into Thy presence.'' Where has He been?
Psalm 139:1 - ''O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.''
See the word ''searched''? This word means - ''pierced through''. God sees right through you. That can be thrilling or threatening.
Verse 2 - ''Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.''
That means even when you are daydreaming - God knows what
you are thinking. I like to call it going into ''holy neutral.''
.
Verse 3 - ''Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.''
Three things you need to understand about ...
