Omnipresence of the Lord
The term, "omnipresence," simply means that God is every where present
and no where absent. There is no place that God is not present. The
following verses teach this principle:
1. Ps. 46:1 "To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon
Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in
trouble."
2. Ps. 139:6 "Such knowledge is
too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. 7 Whither
shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell,
behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell
in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me,
and thy right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall
cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 12 Yea, the darkness
hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and
the light are both alike to thee. 13 For thou hast possessed my reins:
thou hast covered me in my mother's womb."
3. Heb. 13:5 "Let your
conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as
ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
4. Prov. 15:3 "The eyes of the
LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
5. 2 Cor. 2:14 "Now thanks be unto
God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest
the savour of his knowledge by us in every place."
6. Job 5:19 "He shall deliver thee
in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee."
7. 1 Kings 18:27 "And it came to
pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a
god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or
peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked."
8. Ps. 23:4 "Yea, though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou
art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."
9. Ps. 41:1 "To the chief
Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the
LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. 2 The LORD will preserve him,
and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou
wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. 3 The LORD will
strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed
in his sickness."
10. Ps. 46:1 "To the chief
Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth. God is our refuge
and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we
fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried
into the midst of the sea;"
11. Deu. 4:31 "(For the LORD thy
God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee,
nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them."
12. Deu. 31:6 "Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid
of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will
not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
