Harvest: Greg Laurie

What is God like? Where is He? Does He know everything? Two key attributes of God are found in Psalm 139. We read these words from King David:

O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways . . .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 139:1–3, 7–10)

From this psalm and other passages in Scripture we learn that God is omnipresent—He is everywhere, and that God is omniscient—He is all-knowing.

Now that can be comforting or frightening, depending on your relationship with God. If your relationship with Him is close, it's very comforting to know that no matter what you face in life, God will be you. Whatever happens in your life, you can remember that it comes through the screen of His love with your best interests in mind. Remember that as you go through the difficulties of life.

You can have confidence in the knowledge that you are never alone, the all-knowing and ever-present God is with you.
