A College Student Writes
Neither Coming nor Going
How many times have you stood in an airport fearful about whether or not you were going to get on standby? Or how many times has your luggage gone to Miami or Seattle, when you were going to St. Louis? Or perhaps you've started out late for a bus you had to catch, only to be caught in busy, screaming traffic on the way to school or work.
It is wonderful to know that in God's kingdom we are neither coming nor going. We are always with God, Love. We never leave Him when we step on a bus, catch a plane, or cross the ocean in a ship.
The Psalmist marveled at God's ever-presence when he sang, "Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?" Ps. 139:7; It is important for us to know that we can never leave God, "flee" from His presence, when we travel. It is wise to establish ourselves as God's ideas, and to know that God's ever-presence, His love, His goodness, is always enveloping us.
