Jeremiah
23:24 New
Living Translation
“Can anyone
hide from me in a secret place? Am I not
everywhere in all the heavens and earth?” says the Lord.
Folks do things
that are wrong all the time. They think they are so cunning, thinking they have
actually gotten away with something. All the while they are acting out in full
view of God, whether they happen to believe that or not. Christians can take
comfort in the fact that there are no places that He does not see us;
non-Christians cannot. There is no place on this planet that is hidden from
Him. Like a home designer who knows
every nook and cranny of a house his drew up, God knows even the most remote
place in His creation. If a Christian has a misstep, there is a need to own up
to it, seek forgiveness and move on. God knows all about it, so denying it,
acting as if it never happened, is fruitless. Take solace in the fact that God
is patient. This isn’t a single elimination reality show; God wants us to
succeed, to thrive and be at peace.
How big is God to
you? Is he big enough to handle any and all of your problems? Along with his ability to be all places at
one time, he is also omnipotent. That’s
being all-powerful. Nothing in creation
is as powerful as the one who made it.
No created being is as powerful as the one who gave it breath. Just because we can’t see God means nothing;
just because we don’t understand the how and the why of God’s actions means
nothing either. We must either trust the
Lord without hesitation or simply deny his existence, because he hasn’t given
us a multitude of options regarding his existence. If he’s real, then he is either who he says
in his word he is or he is not. If you
believe he exists, then trust God to be with you wherever you go and know that
you shall be blessed for following his instructions for living.
Since God is
omnipresent, there is literally no place that He is not. His spirit can be
found everywhere. Self-absorbed man sees
nothing but themselves and what they are doing; the spiritual man can
see God’s presence all around him. Take the time to marvel at the creation of
God. God always has our best interests at heart. Seek His will for
your life and not your own. Until next
time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
