Hidden in Plain Sight

So, David cries out "where can I hide from your presence?" We can all imagine making our way up, up and not away from God's presence, or down , down and, again, not away from his presence. But what about in? What about in our depression, anger, grief, loneliness, fear, guilt and so on? Are we hidden from his presence there?
It seems easier to imagine a child playing hide & seek on the mountain tops, or in a cave and relate that to the foolishness of thinking one could actually be hidden from God Most High. The reality is, however, that we do play the game. When you are down and loneliness seems to scream in your ears, do you feel separated from his presence? What do you do? Listen to the voice of the enemy or reach for truth found in the word of God? Nothing can separate us from God! And continue that to nothing can separate us from the love of God, let that sink in. God loves you and nothing can get you off his mind, out of his sight or away from his heart! You are not separate from God at any time, in any circumstance or in any place.
Get into God's word and make up a few note cards with verses addressing his undeniable constant presence with you. Tape them up in your bathroom or at your desk and read them often! Enjoy knowing he is with you always, even to the end!
