The omnipresence of God is not something we think about very much, though we probably should. We understand that God is present everywhere at all times. We don’t know how He does this, but we know that it is true. We don’t really think about the implications of this though. Proverbs 15:3 says, “The eyes of the Lord are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good.” In Jeremiah 23:23-24 God says, “‘Am I a God near at hand,’ says the Lord, ‘And not a God afar off? Can anyone hide himself in secret places, So I shall not see him?’ says the Lord; ‘Do I not fill heaven and earth?’ says the Lord.” God is with us when times are bad. “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalms 23:4). Isaiah 43:2 says, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you." The knowledge that God is always near and is concerned about us can be a very comforting thought. “Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” (Matthew 10:29-31). It is when we are doing something wrong that the knowledge that God has His eyes on us at all times becomes uncomfortable. In the 139th Psalm, David spoke of God’s nearness and knowledge. “O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.” (verses 1-3). Beginning in verse 7, David asks the rhetorical question, “Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.” David acknowledges that not only is God everywhere, He also knows everything about us. When we are tempted to sin, we should bear this in mind. No one else may see us, but God does. “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” (Hebrews 4:12-13).
