Where Can I Flee From Your Presence?

Do you believe that God is everywhere? That He is in heaven, on earth, inside of you, etc.? I mean, if you believe what The Book says, then of course you do! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere.

Ok. Well, then do you believe that God is in heaven AND hell? Harder question, right? Most people I know would answer "No!" in a heartbeat. Why would you say no? Because only sin belongs there? Only the ones that don't believe in God are there? Well, where's your proof of that? Yeah, the Bible talks about how unbelievers go to hell. It's the home of the devil when he gets thrown into hell in the end. Where does it say that it is only meant for that?

If you agree with the fact that God is everywhere, then you should believe that God is also in hell. Not His good, righteous, merciful, and loving side. No. His wrathful, vengeful, just, and angry side. He pours all His wrath into hell and on the people there. The Bible talks about how God gets angry and about His wrath. Where else, but hell, would he release all of it?

Now let's look at a passage that can help show you that God is everywhere...

Psalm 139:7-12
-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.
If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
for the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

David wrote this passage in the Psalms. He says that God is everywhere and that he cannot hide from Him no matter where he goes. He can't go to heaven for God is there. He can't go to hell because He is there. The darkness is not dark to God. There is no where that a person can go that they are away from God.

Just a thought.

God bless!!
