God is with us wherever we go.

We are under God’s authority. If we are Jesus’ disciples, seeking His path wherever we walk, God is with us, preventing, guarding, guiding, and permitting the circumstances of our lives.

If we stroll into a briar bush or rip down a bee hive, if we disregard the laws of life — even if we stray from the path of love that Jesus trod — God will still be there.

We can forget Him. We can disappoint Him. But we can never evade Him.

God created us. He created this world and everything in it. Nothing hides from His eyes.

We can pretend God isn’t the ultimate authority, but deluding ourselves with this lie won’t alter the truth.

Psalm 139:8 says that if we go to the heavens He is there, and if we make our bed in the depths He is still with us.

Leaving His ways invites stings and scratches into our lives. Yes, God can heal them. He can fix what we’ve damaged, but why wander off the path? We may end up in a forty year trek through the desert! Even if that happens, God will never forsake us. No matter what, He is with us wherever we go.
