Psalm 139:7-11
“Where can I go from Your Spirit? or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell [Sheol], behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall fall on me,’ even the night shall be light about me.”
Jeremiah 23:24
“‘Can anyone hide himself in secret places, so I shall not see him?’ says the LORD; do I not fill heaven and earth?’ says the LORD.”
God’s omnipresence is cause for great reassurance to His children. He does not change. He exhibits lovingkindness. He is sovereign. And this God is the One Who has promised to be with us always, to never leave or forsake us. He is with us.
God’s omnipresence can be observed in two ways. As He told Jeremiah, He is everywhere, filling heaven and earth. This is the scope of His omnipresence; there is nowhere we can go that He is not there. He also forever indwells each of His children by the Holy Spirit: “And I [Jesus] will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever – the Spirit of truth…you know Him, for He dwells with you, and will be in you.” (John 14:16-17). He is at once in each of the redeemed, in a more wonderful way than anyone else could ever be with us. We are never alone. He is Who He is, and by His omnipresence He graciously extends the gift of Himself to us in indescribably wonderful and inexhaustible ways. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!
1. Pray for a worker at the Blue Palau Gift Shop to hear about God’s omnipresence, and come to know that in a personal way through receiving the gift of salvation.
2. Because of their companionship and loyalty, dogs are often considered to be “man’s best friend.” Pray for the Lord to work again in the life of a person who has interacted with the pictured dog, that he/she may meet Him Who truly is man’s best friend.
3. Pray that on this Lord’s Day every Christian in Koror will rejoice in and thank the Lord for His omnipresence.
