Read about It
Read: Psalm 139:1–10
Take in a long, deep breath. Think about the air that you breathe every day. As you inhale, air fills your lungs. Oxygen from the air is absorbed into your blood and moves through it to every part of your body. Did you know we can’t survive without oxygen? We can’t last long if we aren’t close to a supply of oxygen. Thankfully, we don’t usually have to travel far to find oxygen because the air around us is full of it. We simply have to breathe it in.
In the same way, God is always close to us. We can never escape from His Spirit. When we turn away from God and sin, the Holy Spirit brings conviction to turn us back to God. Wherever we go, whatever we’re doing, God is always there. We can always call on Him. There are times in our life when we may feel lonely, like everyone has left us or let us down. In those times, we can talk to God about how we’re feeling and know that He is just as close as our next breath is. Our Heavenly Father cares for us and loves us more than we can ever imagine.
