Wednesday in Holy Week

Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to Heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast. Psalms 139:7 — 10.

Perhaps the reason we find God wherever we go is God is with us wherever we go. He never leaves our side. Sometimes we try to hide from God and his call, some of the prophets did. But we cannot ignore the call because it is ever present.We thought this Lent we were making a journey to God and all the time he was right there with us. All we needed to do is turn toward him. East to West. Life is the journey but we always have a loving companion by our side — God. Truly the joy is in the journey.Today as we take one of our last steps in Lent take a moment to turn to God by finding him in a place you had not realized he existed.
