God Is...Omnipresent

"Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there."
                            -Psalm 139:7-8 

Just like His omniscience, God's omnipresence is something that can cause either fear or peace depending on who you are. When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, they tried to hide from His presence, not realizing that doing so is as impossible as a fish hiding from water. The presence of the Lord cannot be hid from or avoided; He is everywhere.

No matter where we are or what we go through in life, God is there. Just like the sun is always shining, even when we can't see it, God is always there, even when we can't feel Him. I think the song by Third Day says it best:

Like the rain that falls to the earth below
Watering the seed to grow
So it is with Your precious word, O Lord
It won't return until I know that


You're everywhere
You're everywhere


Like the wind that blows no one really knows
From where it comes or where it goes
So it is with your Holy Spirit, Lord
Falling down on us to show that


(You're everywhere) Like the rain that's falling
(You're everywhere) Like the wind that's blowing
(You're everywhere) Like the sun upon my face
I feel the warmth in Your embrace
You are everywhere


My Lord, now I truly know
That I could never go from Your presence
My God, You are everywhere
From the lowest depths to the heavens
You're always there*
