The word for today is - Everywhere !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Everywhere !

 

Lets look at the beginning of time. Read Genesis 1:1,In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. So,is there any location in this universe where we can hide from the presence of God? No ! Why? Because, God is Omnipresent. Basically, being omnipresent means being present everywhere at the same time. In fact, King David posed this question directly, asking: “Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? Nowhere! The Scripture tell us in Psalm 139:1-10,O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.So, how can God be “everywhere” at the same time? We already read the answer, in David’s words: “Where can I go from your Spirit?” You see God is a Spirit! God has complete access to the universe, there is no place to flee from His presence. Now read Nehemiah 9:6,Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee. Do you not know, who God is, and His power? This is the Lord speaking, read Job 38:1-33,New International Version,Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm. He said:  “Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge?  Brace yourself like a man; I will question you,and you shall answer me.  “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand.Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone, while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?  “Who shut up the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb, when I made the clouds its garment  and wrapped it in thick darkness, when I fixed limits for it and set its doors and bars in place, when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther; here is where your proud waves halt’? “Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place,  that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it? The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its features stand out like those of a garment.The wicked are denied their light,  and their upraised arm is broken.  “Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea  or walked in the recesses of the deep? Have the gates of death been shown to you? Have you seen the gates of the deepest darkness?  Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth?  Tell me, if you know all this. “What is the way to the abode of light? And where does darkness reside? Can you take them to their places?Do you know the paths to their dwellings? Surely you know, for you were already born!  You have lived so many years! “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail, which I reserve for times of trouble,  for days of war and battle? What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed, or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth? Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain, and a path for the thunderstorm,  to water a land where no one lives, an uninhabited desert, to satisfy a desolate wasteland and make it sprout with grass? Does the rain have a father? Who fathers the drops of dew? From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens when the waters become hard as stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen?  “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades? Can you loosen Orion’s belt?  Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs? Do you know the laws of the heavens?  Can you set up God’s dominion over the earth? To all of the questions, the answer is No!!!! Read Jeremiah 23:23-24, Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD. This is the Lord speaking, the Lord is asking you who can hide from me? Jesus Christ confronted His followers with the most important issue they would ever face, Who do you say that I AM? Your response to Him will determine not only your values and lifestyle, but your eternal destiny as well. The word of God says, I AM who I say that I AM and my word is truth! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
