Omnipresence

• There is not any place in all of creation where
  God does not exist.
• God does not have size or spatial dimensions and
  is present at every point of space with His whole
  being, yet God acts differently in different
  places.
• - Dr. Wayne Grudem

God is free of limitations

• See 1 Kings 826-27 (pg. 366)
• Thus says the LORD Heaven is my throne, and
  the earth is my footstool what is the house that
  you would build for me, and what is the place of
  my rest? All these things my hand has made, and
  so all these things came to be, declares the
  Lord, (Isaiah 661-2, ESV).
• The woman said to him, Sir, I perceive you are a
  prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain,
  but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where
  people ought to worship. Jesus said to her,
  Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when
  neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will
  you worship the Father, (John 419-21, ESV).

God is with us.

• See Psalm 1397-12 (pg. 662)
• Am I a God at hand, declares the LORD, and not a
  God afar off? Can a man hide himself in secret
  places so that I cannot see him? Declares the
  LORD. Can a man hide himself in secret places so
  that I cannot see him? Declares the LORD. Do I
  not fill heaven and earth? Declares the LORD,
  (Jeremiah 2323-24, ESV).
• In Him we live and move and have our being,
  (Acts 1728, ESV).
• The fool says in his heart, There is no God,
  (Psalm 141a, ESV).

God can be present to

• To punish see Amos 91-4, (pg. 978)
• To sustain - And he is before all things, and in
  him all things hold together, (Colossians 117,
  ESV).
• To bless - You make known to me the path of
  life in your presence there is fullness of joy
  at your right hand are pleasures forevermore,
  (Psalm 1611, ESV).
• See Colossians 29-15, (pg. 1252)

God can be present to

• Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
  You, however, are not in the flesh but in the
  Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in
  you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of
  Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is
  in you, although the body is dead because of sin,
  the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If
  the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead
  dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from
  the dead will also give life to your mortal
  bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you,
  (Romans 88-11, ESV).

9
God can be present to

• Now the Lord is Spirit, and where the Spirit of
  the Lord is, there is freedom, (2 Corinthians
  317, ESV).
• Behold, the LORDs hand is not shortened, that
  is cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot
  hear but your iniquities have made a separation
  between you and your God, and your sins have
  hidden his face from you so that he does not
  hear, (Isaiah 592, ESV).

If we believe God is with us.

• It should impact our conduct.
• It should bring encouragement
