If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, even there Your hand will lead me, and Your right hand will lay hold of me.”ĭavid says: where can I go, where God is not? He says if I go up to heaven, God is there. If I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.

This doctrine is spelled out in Psalm 139:7-10 perhaps better than in any other passage: “Where can I go from Your Spirit or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there. The Doctrine of God’s Omnipresence: God is everywhere. Let’s turn to Psalm 139:7-10 and see what it teaches us about this doctrine, and what it means for us that we have an Omnipresent God.

Are you there?” The Scriptures tell us that we never need to ask that question regarding the Living God: He IS here.
