Omni-present JOY!

            Have you had your JOY JUICE today? It’s just the thing you need to pack when going on vacation!

            During the summer months, many people take advantage of nice weather and their children being out of school to schedule time for a family vacation.  Some go to the beach; others prefer the cooler temperatures of the mountains.  There are cruises, amusement parks, rafting adventures and many other opportunities for fun.  But no matter where we go or even if we choose a “stay-cation” and simply enjoy staying at home, GOD IS THERE!

            There is absolutely NO physical location in this universe where we can hide from the presence of God! The Bible is plain about that.  In fact, King David posed this question directly---in Psalm 139: 7-10:     

    Where can I go from your Spirit?  Where can I flee from your presence?  If I go up to the heavens, you are there;  if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.  If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

David’s words remind us that it is futile to search for a place to hide from the presence of God; and may I add…very unwise to try—just ask Jonah! :). God’s infallible word shows that He is omnipresent—within His vast creation, there is no place where you can go that He is not there! 

            Whether on vacation, at home, at work or wherever go…..rest assured that God is with you!  Isn’t that a sweet serving of JOY JUICE?
