Dave Meurer writes about God knowing everything about us no matter where we
go and no matter what we do. He is there and knows the most minute details
about us.
May God bless,

You Can Run, But You Can't Hide
by Dave Meurer
If you're planning a vacation to Australia in the near future, I strongly
suggest you avoid booking a flight on the new Northrop Grumman Global Hawk.
While the aircraft features a host of impressive state-of-the-art features,
including the ability to fly nonstop from Los Angeles to Sydney without
refueling, the plane has crummy meal service. It also has no movies,
magazines, windows, seats, toilets, pilots, or even frequent flyer miles.
The Global Hawk is an unmanned aerial reconnaissance plane that flies
sensitive missions for the United States Air Force. With its massive 130
wing span and fuel-efficient engine it can stay airborne for 32 hours and
fly more than 12,000 miles at a stretch. So even if it did feature a few
first class seats, you would probably be kind of cranky at the end of the
flight. And what with the "no lavatory" situation, you'd need a bladder the
size of a life raft.
I had the privilege of having a front row seat for the Global Hawk "Rollout
Ceremony" in Palmdale, California in 2006. My boss is a Congressman, and
since the plane was going to be operated from an Air Force base in his
district, he was invited to congratulate the team of designers and builders.
So I got to tag along and sit in the VIP section-while other real VIPs tried
to figure out who I was. CIA agent? Defense Department official? Bodyguard?
I was tempted to make furtive whispers into my watch, but decided against it
(lest any real security people strike up a conversation with me, only to
discover that the most dangerous thing I've done in the last ten years is
replace a faulty electrical outlet.)
With a flourish of music and the dazzling flashes of a zillion strobe
lights, a massive curtain was dropped, and the audience of legislators, Air
Force brass, reporters, and Northrop Grumman employees applauded as the
newest spy plane was revealed.
It was waaaaay cool.
But the truly amazing thing about the Global Hawk isn't its incredible
range-or even the fact that it can prowl the air at a height of more than
60,000 feet. The really mind-boggling thing is that, from that outlandish
height, it can look down on an enemy sniper hiding behind a rock. And
provide a real-time video feed and exact coordinates to a fighter pilot or
squad of soldiers, who can then dispatch said enemy to the afterlife.
Because of a paperwork delay with my security clearance, I actually did not
get to attend the separate technical briefing, in which the Air Force
explained the true capabilities of the Global Hawk. But a pilot of the now
out-of-commission SR-71 Blackbird (a spy plane that could jet across the sky
at more than 2,000 miles per hour even though it was built in the 1960s)
told me that the cameras on his plane could read the date of a dime lying on
the pavement. So you kind of get the drift. These planes can do everything
but X-ray your spleen.
The concept of an ever-vigilant eye in the sky, able to track your every
move, makes people on the ground either very nervous or very reassured,
depending on whose side they're on. If you are an American soldier, the
Global Hawk is a very good friend. You want it looking out for you.
Thinking about capabilities of the Global Hawk, I couldn't help but ponder
the unequalled recon capabilities of God. Hebrews 4:13 says, "Nothing in all
creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare
before the eyes of him to whom we must give account."
To those who oppose God, that disconcerting thought should be enough to
cause a hygienic impropriety that requires a change of clothes. But to those
who live under the protection and love of God, His unblinking gaze can be a
great source of comfort and peace. The God who is utterly committed to us is
always watching over us. He's watching over our kids, our spouse, our
parents, our friends. Even when tough things come into our life, and even if
we don't understand why He allows it, we have the assurance that nothing
takes Him by surprise.
Still, as adept as it is, not even the Global Hawk can count the hairs on
your head. But God monitors that microscopic level of detail (Luke 12:7).
And, as a reconnaissance vehicle, the Global Hawk excels at watching, but is
completely unarmed. It can't drop a bomb. It can't fire a single bullet. It
can't even give someone a surprise noogie. It can relay information, but it
can't actively defend you on its own.
But the God who's watching your back has an unlimited arsenal, a massive
army of angels-and an ironclad resolve to bring you safely into his Kingdom.
You can't get any more secure than that. |

Ps 139
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my
thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my
ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it
altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto
it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy
presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell,
behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of
the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be
light about me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day:
the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's
womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous
are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and
curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all
my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet
there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum
of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I
awake, I am still with thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye
bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in
vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with
those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way
everlasting.
May God bless,
Carl

2 Cor 6:14-18
14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers . For what do righteousness and
wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer
have in common with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement is there between the
temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has
said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God,
and they will be my people."
17 "Therefore come out from them
and be separate,
says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you."
18 "I will be a Father to you,
and you will be my sons and daughters,
says the Lord Almighty."
May God bless,
Carl
