Day 21 - You can't escape Him - and aren't you glad!

 Hayford shares a deep seeded and wonderful truth with us today - God is there.  Where-ever you are - God is there.  What a re-assuring thing, isn't it?

Well - if you've done stuff in your life that you aren't proud of - like I have - then it's kinda something you'd wish God wouldn't have access to - to be honest.  I mean - I've done lots of really dumb and bad things - I'm human - and I kinda wish God wasn't there every time I did them.   But - Hayford goes on to remind us rather than being embarrassed - we need to be relived that "in our most desperate of times that He pursues us, especailly in times of weakness or temptation ambushes us" - pg 119

Hayford then shares the truth of the Spirit's power, His helping in things like prayer, His indwelling and leading - things that we all have available to all of us who ask:

"If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spriit to those who ask Him!" Luke 11:13 - Jesus speaking.

The Spirit is not something that is we should be afraid of - or get all weird about - rather - The Holy Spirit is a part of the Trinity - a part of God that dwells is us - and allows us to do SO much more than we could ever do on our own - through our weakness He is made strong - which in turn - makes us strong in Him.

Who wouldn't want that kind of strength - power and resource at their finger-tips - available at any moment - waiting to be used and tapped into?  Do you?  I do.
