We read in the Bible (Psalm 139) that God is omnipresent. He is literally everywhere that we could possibly go. The Psalm says that He fills all of the universe. At any moment and any place, God is there. Isn’t that amazing?! It’s hard to comprehend or to understand, but there is nowhere that we can go where God is not present.
Later, in Colossians we read that not only is God present everywhere in the universe, He is also present even in the smallest particle of matter. This goes even further to show His presence everywhere within His creation. We cannot find a place of a thing that does not have God’s presence.
There is no way the human mind can fully comprehend the fact that our God can be present everywhere at the same time. As humans, we are limited in both time and space, but God is not. Although I do not really understand how it is possible, I know that it is true.
Any time I call on Him, He hears my cry – and He does the same for each of His children. Someone once said, “When thousands of Christians are praying privately around the world at the same time, each one can be sure that he is receiving God’s undivided attention.”
At times when you feel alone, be assured that God is there. He stands beside you; He sees and knows all that you are going through. You are not alone. You are not forsaken. God is there. Let that be your courage, comfort and joy.
Father, thank you so very much for always being with me, regardless of the circumstance. Thank you that no matter where I go or how far I stray, I can know that You are right there. I love you and trust that Your presence will be a comforting factor throughout all of the situations that I face.
