God Is Everywhere (Psalm 17:3)

Today's scripture: Psalm 17:3

One of our Lord's attributes is that He is omnipresent. He is everywhere at all times. This is a mystery beyond our comprehension, but I believe it to be true.

I have several favorite psalms, and one of my favorites, the 39th, reminds me of God's constant presence. The psalmist writes:

Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit?
    to be out of your sight?
If I climb to the sky, you’re there!
    If I go underground, you’re there!
If I flew on morning’s wings
    to the far western horizon,
You’d find me in a minute—
    you’re already there waiting!
(MSG, vv. 7-10)

He is everywhere.

Now, this might make some of us cringe. He sees us all the time, so even when no other human is with us, we're not alone.

Think about it. What do you do when you're alone? Are you one person in public and another when no one else is around? When you're with your friends, do you act differently than when you're in church?

God sees. He sees everything. Every thought, every word, every action.

If you're convicted by this reminder, then perhaps you need to get down on your knees and ask the Lord to help you be whom He wants you to be.

Everywhere. All the time.
