Know God's Presence

The Bible teaches that God is everywhere. Theologians refer to God as omnipresent. He is everywhere at the same time. It's hard for us to understand how anyone could be everywhere. We are limited by time and space. God is neither limited by time nor space.

God's presence is with you all the time and everywhere. God is like the very air you breathe. You can't see the air. Yet, you know that without air, you can't live. So it is with God. His very presence sustains your life.
Because God is like the air you breathe, you cannot see him. Only faith can recognize his presence. That's the reason you must come to God by faith. Your faith is not based upon what your eyes can see. Only the heart transformed by the Spirit of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, can know God's presence always.

"Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?"
Psalm 139:7

"For we walk by faith, not by sight."
2 Corinthians 5:7

"But without faith, it is impossible to please him,
for he who comes to God must believe that he is
and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him."
Hebrews 11:6
