Am I a God at hand, declares the LORD, and not a God far away? Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the LORD. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the LORD.
Jeremiah 23:23-24
Lord, my soul rejoices this morning because You are always with me, there is no place that I can go where You are not present. I am grateful today because the same realization regarding Your presence that gives me joy and peace also drives me towards holiness. Though my sinful heart tempts me to whisk off into the shadows to walk after the lusts of my heart, my soul knows that there is no place I can hide where You are not. The thought of doing what is evil in Your eyes before Your eyes stings so much more worse than thinking I can sneak it past You! The closer I get to You the more I do not want to hurt You like that!
Continue to purge from me these leanings towards wickedness. Continue to expose my brokenness and grant me a heart that is sensitive to Your Spirit. I ask that You continue to mold and shape me into the person You have called me to be, not allowing me to fall back into bad habits and broken ways of thinking. Instead, continue to remind me that You are always with me. I represent You in all that I do. I am Your ambassador. Thank You for trusting me enough to appoint me and set me apart. Enable me by the Holy Spirit to live up to Your expectations in Jesus’ Name.
