Whither Shall I Flee from Thy Presence – Psalm 139:7-12

Outlines in Psalms

This outline is a companion to two previous outlines:
                                   O Lord, Thou Hast Searched Me, and Known Me - Psalm 139   
                                   Such Knowledge Is Too Wonderful for Me - Psalm 139:1-6     

1.  The Lord our God is ever present wherever we go.
     Thus we can know His fellowship at all times.

Psalm 139:7-8 – “Whither shall I go from thy spirit?  Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?  If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.”

2.  The Lord our God is ever directing in our lives.
     Thus we can trust His upholding for each day.

Psalm 139:9-10 – “If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.”

3.  The Lord our God is ever observing what we do.
     Thus we cannot hide our sinful behavior from Him.

Psalm 139:11-12 – “If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.  Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.”
