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. (Ps 139: 7-10) “Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?” declares the Lord. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord. (Jer 23:24) …though He…
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” (Gen 1:26) In the beginning was the Word. (Jn 1:1) For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. (Jn 5:26) Praise You, Father, for You have granted me life. I do not deserve it.

Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the right way? Who was it that taught him knowledge or showed him the path of understanding? (Is 40:13-14) Lord, what do I know that You haven’t known from eternity? What You know surpasses me infinitely, for You know Yourself and You are infinite. Bless You.

(Gen 18:14) Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea — the Lord on high is mighty.
