Scripture: Psalm 139 Reference Scripture: Psalm 139:7 “Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?” NASB What is everything filled with? As I pondered this question a few things came to mind. I realized that EVERYTHING is filled with God. Everything is filled with His Spirit, His presence, his air, his breath, his character, his nature, his light and his love. All things are filled with all that He is. After all He is The Great I am. The “I AM” is in all things as all things have their being in HIM. All things came from Him. According to the inspired word written by David’s hand you can even find God in Hell. Which brings me to this paradigm shift: No matter how many times I try I could never ever walk away and run away from God Presence. Even when I think I have left him, His all powerful presence is still too great for me to escape. For example…two years ago God drew me back into his arms, but prior to that encounter I had left the whole “church thing” at the age of 19, I am 34 now. I was a pew baby, born and raised knowing about God, singing the songs and all that jazz. Yet, when I, in my own pride proclaimed I had enough of God…I chose to leave it all behind…and in one sense I did leave God but the bigger truth here is that HE NEVER LEFT ME. You see in those 13 years of rebellion, hindsight is 20/20 vision by the way, God was strategically making moves to work it out where as I would be aligned to the right people at the right time to bring me back to His arms. Yes, even the wrong people I believe with all my heart were strategically placed there to shape me and mold me, not for my own glory but for God’s glory. Many have told me that I remind them of the prodigal son! Shoot, I even met my wife because of God. You see, God knew all along what move and choice I was going to make even before I had thought it out. When God marks you and seals you with His sealant, it will be pretty hard to escape it and the plans He has for you. Anyway, I wanted to leave you with this final thought, as I felt inspire by His Spirit to write this below, here it goes: "God, who leads me, enables me continuously and perpetually to perform the work at hand. He trains me, equips me, and bends my will as he tames me with his yoke to perform his work. God my strength strengthens me to do His work. My will subdued and tamed under the authority of God pulls me to do my work I am directed to perform." "He leads me to walk a certain way, to live a certain way. He directs me and points me toward the direction of his will. I am experiencing the pull of God’s yoke and staff on my shoulders, pulling and pushing me toward his greatness. He pulls me toward himself, as a shepherd pulling and directing his sheep, toward his greatness allowing me to see and experience with intimacy the revelation of His Face." "God’s Spirit on me becomes my prescribed path, my medicine as it were. His inhaled breath, wind in me becomes my compass toward that very path he has ordered for me. I shall breathe in his air, his spirit, his character to show me and secure for me the WAY I should go each and everyday. I will wait for his scent and follow him." "I proclaim that I am adorned with God, testifying and bearing witness to all that I am his child and servant. I shall clothed myself with God and be identified as his representative. Because without God I have nothing, no authority, no rank, no life. God as my trappings and adornment speaks that I am HIS CHILD." "And God my strength and power continues to enable me to accomplish His Work. Taming me toward his will!" "Yet, realize, to run away from God and his yoke upon you compares to utter suicide and death. Running from God severs my main artery, separating me away from my source of life: God!" "Yet I will and shall not be lifted from his yoke. I shall be pulled toward his Face, experiencing his presence daily. Turning my whole life toward him continuously…I shall look toward him and blow sweet words of fragrance to Him: My God!"
