GOD IS EVERYWHERE... God is everywhere, He is present everywhere… So He is always with you. “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 a 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) Since God is everywhere He is always with us. Because He is an infinite Spirit, He is not restricted to being at one location at a time. He fills ever inch of space throughout the universe with all His wonderful personal attributes. Although God is distinct from his creation, all His creation exists within Him. In Acts 17:28 we are told, “In Him we live and move and exist.” We live in His glorious presence every moment of every day. When we are alone, God watches what we do. When we do something good that nobody else knows about, God sees it and rewards us accordingly. He also sees the bad things we do in secret. Hebrews 4:13 states, “Nothing in all creation can hide from Him. Everything is naked and exposed before His eyes. This is the God to whom we must explain all that we have done.” We actually have the presence of almighty God living inside us. The apostle Paul wrote, “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?”(1 Corinthians 3:16,NIV). God wants us to “consciously” live in His presence each day. His ever-presence makes it possible for us to be in constant communication with Him and depend on Him in every situation. But often we ignore His presence because we are so preoccupied with our lives. Sometimes we even forget He is with us while we are busy serving Him. Yet God’s magnificent presence is all we need for any challenge that may come our way. No person or circumstance can ever remove us from the presence of our loving God. Since God is everywhere He is always with us, protecting us from danger. He is always with us, watching what we do. He is our ever-present God, Savior, Lord, and Master- our dearest friend.[Jesus said] “I am with you always”(Matthew 28:20).
