JEREMIAH 23:24
"Can anyone hide from God in a secret place? Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and the earth, says the Lord?"
God asks us this question, "Am I a God who is only close at hand"? No, God is far away at the same time. In fact, God is everywhere and present at all times. This fact gives full meaning to the phrase, you can run, but you can not hide. It is proved in the saying, you can run from yourself, but there is no where to hide! Are you trying to hide from yourself or God? Have you refused to know God and His Word? You can refuse to learn about the Good News of God but that will not change it at all! Your choice, your consequence.
The Lord fills the heavens and the earth and is everywhere at all times. Everywhere you look you can see God's handiwork. It is evident in the sun, moon, planets and stars. Even though man has made attempts to leave this planet earth, his attempts have been feeble. If you try to escape God your attempts will be even more feeble and the consequences to you eternal. No matter where you go there will be no place to hide from God!
In Second Thessalonians 1:7-9 we read that when the Lord Jesus Christ appears from heaven, He will bring judgement on those who do not know Him, and refuse to obey His Good News. They will be punished with eternal destruction and separation from God and His power. In every non believer there is a still small voice speaking to you and warning you of these truths.
If you feel an empty pit in your soul and that you are not complete, that is the Spirit of God trying to save you from personal destruction. It requires a personal choice to accept Jesus Christ. You can run all you want, THERE IS NO WHERE TO HIDE!
