God's words in these verses from today's passage stood out to me:
"Am I not a God near at hand"
—God's Decree—
"and not a God far off?
Can anyone hide out in a corner
where I can't see him?"
God's Decree."
Am I not present everywhere,
whether seen or unseen?"
God's Decree.
It may sound funny, but this excerpt reminds me of a Dr. Seuss book. Dr. Seuss would have probably paraphrased this passage with something like, "God does not hide. He's not behind trees or messy hair: He is God. He is everywhere! He is with you at the zoo. He sees when you tie your shoe. He's not far. He's in your car. He's right there--where you are."
Okay, so I'm having a little bit of fun with this post--but you get the point, right? :)
The next time you feel that God's far away, remember Dr. Seuss--or better yet, these verses. Right where you are.
