Psalms 139:7

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 139:7. Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

"Thou art everywhere, and thy far-seeing eye will behold me in every place; vain is it, therefore, for me to think that I can ever flee from thy presence." Is it not a very striking thought that every sin is committed in the presence of God? He must be a very bold rebel who would insult his monarch to his face; men are generally on their best behavior when they stand upon the palace floor; yet the whole earth is but the habitation of the great King eternal, immortal, invisible, and every time we sin, we sin in his very presence, and with his eye resting upon us.
