The Expanse of God's Presence

The Inescapable God
God Protects

Job 23:8-13 (The Message)
 ^8-9 "I travel East looking for him—I find no one;
   then West, but not a trace;
I go North, but he's hidden his tracks;
   then South, but not even a glimpse.

 ^10-12 "But he knows where I am and what I've done.
   He can cross-examine me all he wants, and I'll pass the test
      with honors.
I've followed him closely, my feet in his footprints,
   not once swerving from his way.
I've obeyed every word he's spoken,
   and not just obeyed his advice—I've treasured it.

 ^13-17 "But he is singular and sovereign. Who can argue with him?
   He does what he wants, when he wants to.
He'll complete in detail what he's decided about me,
   and whatever else he determines to do.
Is it any wonder that I dread meeting him?
   Whenever I think about it, I get scared all over again.
God makes my heart sink!
   God Almighty gives me the shudders!
I'm completely in the dark,
   I can't see my hand in front of my face."

For Reflection
One might not see God, but He is always there, helping one to realize His plan for one's self.  To what extent do you seek God's advice and treasure it?

Pray
for the loyalty of Job.  Pray that you listen to God's direction. Pray for the confidence in God to complete His plan for you.
