Psalm 139:7-10 Where shall I go from your spirit? or where shall I flee from your presence?… The laws and forms of nature are only the methods of God's agency, the habits of His existence and the turns of His thought. Each dewdrop holds an oracle, each bud a revelation, and everything we see is a signal of His presence, present but out of sight. Every colour of the dawning or the dying light; every aspect of the changing seasons and all the mysteries of electricity make us feel the eternal presence of God. "Shores," says one, "on which man has never yet landed lie paved with shells; fields never trod are carpeted with flowers; seas where man has never dived are inlaid with pearls; caverns never mined are radiant with gems of finest forms and purest lustre. But still God is there," (R. Venting.) Parallel Verses KJV: Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?WEB: Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence? |
