The Lord is Always Present

The psalmist wrote, “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. 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

This Psalm clearly shows us that there is absolutely nowhere we can go where the Lord is not. The Lord is always present whether we feel His presence or not and wherever we are He is. The Lord is not restricted to being only in one place at a time, He is not limited by space and time, rather He is omnipresent, able to be everywhere at the same time. The Lord is an infinite being, greater than anything you could ever imagine or figure out! (Job 36:26).

The Bible tells us that we live and move and exist in the Lord (Acts 17:28), therefore He is all around us; we exist within Him. Living our lives conscious of His presence will cause us to live our lives differently. The Lord wants us to realize that He is with us in every situation. He wants us to recognize that He is ever-present and available. The Lord is always present, for He assures us that He will never leave us (Hebrews 13:5).

Today the Lord wants you to know that whatever you do and wherever you go, He is with you. Through every challenge, He is with you. In good times and during the not-so-good times, He is your constant companion, loving, watching, protecting, and taking care of you – the Lord is always present.
