Dear Friends,
When things don’t go the way they think things should go, people often
ask, “Where is God?” Today’s attached devotional answers that question.
God bless you.

Because of Calvary,
John Janney

• Psalm 139:7-12 (ESV)

  7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?
  Or where shall I flee from your presence?
  8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
  If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
  9 If I take the wings of the morning
  and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
  10 even there your hand shall lead me,
  and your right hand shall hold me.
  11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
  and the light about me be night,”
  12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
  the night is bright as the day,
  for darkness is as light with you.

“There is no place to sin in, for God is there. There is no place in which to trifle, for God is there. There is no place for blasphemy, for God is there: will you blaspheme him to his face? There is no place for rebellion, for God is there: wilt thou rebel against the King in his own courts? This makes all space most solemn, and all time truly sacred. Of every spot of ground whereon we stand, we may say, with Jacob, ‘How dreadful is this place!’”

[Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit XLVII, (London: Passmore and Alabaster, 1901), p. 386]
