His Will

David reminds us in Psalm 139 that man cannot flee from God's presence. "If I ascend to heaven, You are there," he writes. "If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me." I received a beautiful essay via e-mail recently on the subject of God's Will. The uplifting message – penned by an unknown author – is in harmony with David's prose above:

His Will never takes you,
Where His arms cannot support you,
Where His riches cannot supply your needs,
Where His power cannot endow you.

His Will never takes you,
Where His Spirit cannot work through you,
Where His wisdom cannot teach you,
Where His army cannot protect you,
Where His hands cannot mold you.

His Will never takes you,
Where His love cannot enfold you,
Where His mercies cannot sustain you,
Where His peace cannot calm your fears,
Where His authority cannot over-rule for you.

His Will never takes you,
Where His comfort cannot dry your tears,
Where His Word cannot feed you,
Where His miracles cannot be done for you,
Where His omnipresence cannot find you.
