From the beginning of the limits You determined with time, You have been on the move.
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. Genesis 1:2 NIV
You are constantly on the go, to and fro, for You are an intrinsic part of creation, as You cover the world with Your Presence and bring the fresh breath of God-giving life,

And this is just the tip of the wealth of references to Holy Spirit found in just the Old Testament, God!
Pentecost Sunday yesterday reminded me that You have been present since before the limits of linear time, and always will be!
More than anything else this stirs up within me, God? My heart cry echoes that of fellow pursuer of You – Shepherd, King & Psalmist David…
Don’t withdraw Your Presence, Your Spirit from me. (Psalm 51:12)
and You reassure me that You never will!
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. Psalm 139:7-10 NIV
