tThe following humorous piece was sent to me author unknown:

I know that every parent (and especially every mother) can relate to that.  Sometimes it seems that there is no hope of any privacy.  No matter where you go, little steps are heard right behind you.  You try to hold a private conversation and little ears are listening.  There's no getting away from it!

That's true of God as well.  Though we may sometimes wish that we could get away from Him for just a few minutes, there's no way.

Listen to how David put it:

"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." (Psalm 139:7-8, NIV).

Though, at first, it may seem that God's continual presence is something to dread, David realizes that there is great comfort in such knowledge:

"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."
(Psalm 139:9, NIV).

God's omnipresence means that He will always be there to take care of us, no matter where we may be.  Instead of being something to fear, His presence is something which gives us comfort.

Take comfort today in knowing that you can never get away from God --
not even by closing the
bathroom door!
