(7)Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence? (8) If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
(9) If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
(10) even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
Remember, we do not live on bread alone: sometimes we need a
little buttering up. - John Maxwell

Where can I flee from your presence? (8) If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

Most would rather be ruined by flattery than be saved by criticism
(11) If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
(12) even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
Some people try to make themselves feel better by making you
feel worse.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you. Psalm 139:17-18
All criticism from someone is personal and subjective.
Criticism can kill the spirit- arm yourself against it.
