The Omnipresence of God.

God is everywhere and He fills all space and time. In this regard, God says in Jeremiah 23:24, “Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? Says the LORD? Do not I fill heaven and earth?” The best commentary on the fact that God is everywhere, sees everything, and fills all space is found in the Bible itself. When David wanted to build a temple, or a special “house” for God, David pauses and says to himself, “But who is able to build Him an house, seeing the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him?” 2 Chronicles 2:6. Psalm 139 says, “O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You search out my path, and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, LORD, you know it altogether. You hem me in behind and before. You placed your hand on my head. This knowledge is beyond me. It is lofty. I can’t understand it. Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence? If I ascend up to heaven, you are there: If I make my bed in Sheol, or the grave, behold, you are there! If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me. If I say, surely the darkness will hide me; the night around me will be light. Even the darkness does not hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.” Even the wicked in Hell cannot avert the penetrating gaze and omnipresence of the God and Creator whom they spent a lifetime on earth trying to avoid and forget. There will be no avoidance nor forgetting. Jesus said that the “worm” or the memory and awareness never dies, and the long eternity of sorrow must be spent with an unavoidable awareness of the witness and gaze of the Creator whom they spent a lifetime trying to hide from and avoid.
