Good News That Actually Is

Everywhere

Just because you can’t see, smell, hear, taste, or feel something doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

We can be prone to be so five-senses oriented that it dominates our perspective on things unseen in our reality.  We can become “blind” to what is invisible but very much surrounds us.

For instance, Television and radio waves cannot be seen, but they are all around us in the air.  These waves fill the air around us but require the proper device to capture them.  If you get a radio and tune it to a station, suddenly, you can hear what is in the air around you.  The same is true with a TV.  The signals exist unless you were to go deep down into the earth or way far away from any antennas to where you get beyond their signal capacity!  That is unless you have a satellite tuner for radio.

These invisible signals exist pretty much wherever you may regularly be.

Something else can be unseen, unheard, and not felt, but is always present no matter where we may be.  In fact, there is no place you can go to be away from it. The Psalmist wrote about it in the Bible.

Psalm 139:7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?  Or where can I flee from Your presence?  8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.  9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,  10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.

There’s nowhere you can go to escape the presence of God.  Just because you aren’t aware of it doesn’t mean it isn’t there.  Like invisible radio or television waves, He is always present, and if you’re tuned in, you will know it.

The Creator of all things is Omnipresent, which is simply a one-word way of saying He is everywhere all at once and all the time.  God is the only One who can be Omnipresent.  The devil cannot be omnipresent.  The devil is a created being and is limited.  Anything created has certain limitations concerning this attribute that is exclusively God’s alone.  Nothing created can be everywhere all at once.

Concerning Jesus, who is also God, the Scriptures say,

Ephesians 1:22   And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

I personally get excited at the thought that there is nowhere I can go that God will not be.  The real kicker to this is the fact that as a believer in Jesus filled with the Holy Spirit, I am His temple, and He lives in me, so how could it be possible to ever be without Him?

1Corinthians 3:16   Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

I encourage you to do your days with this thought of His being with you always, everywhere.  It can be a real blessing to be aware of such an amazing truth.  He will never leave you, nor will he ever forsake you.  He is your everywhere companion, and you are never alone.
