Welcome to the series, Passage to Wisdom, where John Ortberg shares thoughts from books that have been deeply influential in his life. This week, John is looking at the book 'My God and I', a moving spiritual memoir from the pen of Lewis B. Smedes — renowned Christian author, beloved professor, keen theologian and ethicist, extraordinary human being.

Today's topic: God's presence

Verses: 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. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. Psalm 139:7-12 https://www.bible.com/bible/111/PSA.139.NIV
