#4552 – God’s Presence

Good morning people who acknowledge the presentness of God

God is omnipresent; present everywhere, all at the same time.

There is no place that God is not present, and nor is there ever a time that He is not present. This is such wonderful news for the believer!

King David put it this way:

Psalms 139:7-10 NIV 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 my 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.

In his book The pursuit of God, A.W.Tozer wrote:

God Himself is here waiting for our response to His presence.

God is where you are right now. This is not a nice concept or a symbolic picture; this is a living reality. God is with you right now.

And as we approach Christmas, let’s remember one of the names of our Saviour: Emmanuel, which means, God with us.

The truth is that the Holy Spirit in you is closer than Jesus was to His disciples when He walked this earth as flesh and blood.
