Attributes of God - God is Omnipresent
This is a difficult concept to understand, to say the least; God exists in every corner of the universe at the same time. In some way, you could say that God is as big as the universe. Notice I did not say that God is the universe; as the creator of the universe, God exists independently from the universe. As David said in Psalm 139,
“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.”
We know now that the universe is far more vast than David knew. The bottom of the sea, the farthest shore, the entire expanse of the Earth are the merest slivers of creation. This knowledge should put us in far more awe of God than David was. How incredible is it that God should take notice of us at all; let alone desire a relationship with us. How incredible for us to take advantage of this privilege.
