Where IS God?  

 

The Bible teaches us that God is not limited by physical space. In fact, King Solomon acknowledges this in 1 Kings 8:27, saying, “But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built!” Even the grandest temple cannot contain God. He is too big, too powerful, and too vast to be confined to a physical place. Also, the Bible describes God as being omnipresent, meaning that God is present everywhere at all times. In Psalm 139:7-10, King David writes, “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.” This passage makes it clear that there is no physical place where God is not present.

                  Our finite minds cannot possibly comprehend the full reality of God. He has no limits. None. It’s almost as if He is an immense blanket that is able to cover all things. He is simply all places at the same time. I don’t know about you, but my mind shorts out when I think about someone being ubiquitous in nature. All places at the same exact time. I am incapable of understanding that. So if He can be everywhere in the now, why would I question His ability to steer my ship in a favorable direction that will provide the greatest benefit for me? Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing.

In His Name & for His Glory,
