He is our provider and sustainer, “for in Him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28, NKJV), and He gives life and breath to all humans and creatures of the earth (Acts 17:25, Job 12:10). The life and existence of all things, all creatures, and all people, comes from God.
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8, NKJV) God bears witness to His omnipresence elsewhere in Scripture: “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” (Jeremiah 23:24, NKJV). “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1). There is nowhere that God isn’t! For Christians, this is so wonderful to know that, wherever we are, whatever state of mind we’re in, or whatever trouble we may face, the Lord is never far away from our cries for help. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me” (Psalm 139:7-10, NKJV). “Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there if I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. Let us read this beautiful Psalm together: There is nowhere in this world where the Lord God, Creator of heaven and earth, does not exist. Our God is omnipresent, which means to be present everywhere. No matter where you travel to in this world, no matter where you end up at-whether it be deep in the boreal forests of western Canada, the immense jungles of the Amazon rainforest, the African savannas, the high-altitude Himalayas, the mostly-treeless tundra regions near the Arctic, or even on a tiny, remote island in the Pacific Ocean-God is there.
