Our Omnipresent God

God is always there. He is with us no matter where we go or what we do. He sees everything we do and hears everything we say. There is no way to hide from Him. This is kind of scary when we first think about it. He knows all of our imperfections. He knows everything we do, even those things that we hide from the world.

O LORD, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my every thought when far away.

You chart the path ahead of me
and tell me where to stop and rest.
Every moment you know where I am.
You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, LORD.
You both precede and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to know!

I can never escape from your spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
Psalms 139:1-7

The good news is that our God is a very loving God. He doesn't want us to constantly feel guilty or unworthy of Him. He sent His Son to die for our sins so that we don't have to. Therefore, what God's omnipresence means to us is that our God of never ending love and grace is never far from our reach. No matter what we do or where we go, we can never be far from his comforting presence.

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
Psalms 139:23-24
