The Omnipresence of God

Ro 11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!

Isa 55:9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

God's infinitude is to be defined by His self-existence, eternalness, omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence.

Eph 1:23* which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

Pr 5:21 For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths.

Pr 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.

1Ti 6:16* who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no-one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might for ever. Amen

Ps 139:7* Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

Jer 23:24* Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?" declares the LORD. "Do not I fill heaven and earth?" declares the LORD.

1Ki 8:27* "But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built!

2Ch 2:6* But who is able to build a temple for him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain him? Who then am I to build a temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before him?

2Ch 6:18 "But will God really dwell on earth with men? The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you. How much less this temple that I have built!

Ps 139:7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

Ps 148:13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

Isa 57:15 For this is what the high and lofty One says--he who lives for ever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.

Job 34:21 "His eyes are on the ways of men; he sees their every step.

Ge 16:13 She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: "You are the God who sees me," for she said, "I have now seen the One who sees me." (Hagar)

Ps 90:8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.

2Ch 16:9* For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish thing, and from now on you will be at war."

The Israelites believed in the omnipresence of God. It is omniscience that God uses to challenge those who claim to be gods, but who are, in fact, no gods (Isaiah 42:8,9; 43:3-7; 44:7,8; 45:20,21; 48:3-7).

Is 40:28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no-one can fathom.

See also: Isaiah 46:9,10; Psalm 147:5; Romans 11:33; and I John 3:20.

Jeremiah 32:17 "Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You".

Jeremiah 32:27, God says: "Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?"

If God is infinite in His relationship to time, space, and knowledge, it only follows that He is omnipotent as well. Matthew 19:26 and Revelation 19:6, Genesis 17:1

Eze 8:12* He said to me, "Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? They say, `The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.'"

Eze 9:9 He answered me, "The sin of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great; the land is full of bloodshed and the city is full of injustice. They say, `The LORD has forsaken the land; the LORD does not see.'

Am 9:2* Though they dig down to the depths of the grave, from there my hand will take them. Though they climb up to the heavens, from there I will bring them down.

Ps 10:11 He says to himself, "God has forgotten; he covers his face and never sees."

Jon 1:3 But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD.

Psalm 50:21," You thought that I was just like you."

Sharing the Gospel: See Paul’s example in: Acts 17:27* God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

Fellowshipping with believers: Matthew 18:20 For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."

Worship: Surely, praise, honor, and eternal glory belong to the one and only true God, who said, "I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done" (Isaiah 46:9,10). We dare not reduce God to a manageable size or shape that suits us. We must raise our thoughts to attempt to comprehend the Incomprehensible One. These lofty thoughts must necessarily raise our hearts and souls to worship and adore the exalted One.

Trusting Him for His care and guidance

Psalm 139

1 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.

4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.

5 You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"

12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
