Word of the Day
Where can you go from Me? Where can you go from My presence? What circumstance can possibly hide you from Me? Nothing, not even the darkness, for it is a light to Me.
Not a creature exists that is concealed from Me. Everything is open and exposed before Me. I see and know everything (Hebrews 4:13). I know your every waking moment. I know when darkness tries to press in. I hear you call My name and I answer you. My ears are tuned to hear your voice, to the tiniest of sighs escaping from your lips. Call on Me with an expectant heart full of the knowledge of who I am on your behalf. The earth quakes and the mountains roar at My response to you. Will you believe and respond to My invitation to call on My name—to call on My name with a heart of expectancy no matter the situation, no matter where you have been or what you have done?
Know this: I am bowing the heavens and coming to you riding upon a cherub, riding on the wings of the wind. I am thundering from the heavens and arrows are in My hand ready to scatter your enemies (Psalms 18).
Therefore, when the darkness presses don’t ascribe to it more power than My light. I am the light and light is greater in every respect. I know sometimes darkness can seem larger than life, and like an eclipse, it seems to block the sun.
Don’t let eclipse-like thoughts or circumstances become the objects of your focus. Do the very opposite and shout My name. Refuse to give in to the onslaughts of the enemy no matter how large or small they may be. Little thoughts compile in subtle ways and make mountains out of what would have been a mole hill if only it hadn’t been left unattended.
Capture your thoughts today, renew your mind and light will invade every aspect of your life (Romans 12:2). Know there is nowhere you can go from My presence. You see, not only am I with you, I am already where you are going. Take comfort in My abiding presence. The light is shining on you right now. Receive and be changed.
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast” (Psalms 139:7-10 NIV).
Prayer
Lord, forgive me for taking my eyes off of You and the might of Your name. Help me to readjust my focus and place it with a fixed gaze on You. You go before me to make a way where there is no way. I take my thoughts captive and refuse to listen to the lies of the enemy meant to rob my faith. He is a liar and the father of all lies. You are the truth, the light and the life.
Come and scatter my enemies. Route them out from wherever they hide. Expose every scheme and plan. My trust is not in the arms of my flesh. It is in You. Invade my life, my heart and my mind with Your light. I take comfort in Your abiding presence. There is nowhere to go from Your presence and I am grateful. I shout Your name and I am saved. I receive the light of the Lord and I am changed. Amen
Reflect and Journal
- Have you felt concealed from the Lord in any way, as if He is not aware of what is going on in your life?
- His ears are tuned to your every breath. Reflect on this in light of your circumstances.
- What dominating thought of the enemy keeps harassing you? Now is the time to take it captive and replace it with God’s Word to you. Find scriptures to counteract these thoughts and meditate on them and write what He is speaking to you about in relation to them.
