““Can a man hide himself in hiding places So I do not see him?” declares the Lord. “Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 23:24 (NASB)
We often speak of the fact that God is omnipresent which means that God is everywhere present. But we think too often as if what we do is or can be hidden. “Living off the grid” is one such concept of being unnoticed or unseen in our daily lives. But the words of today's verse tells us differently. And, it tells us of our God, who is everywhere present in a different way. Because we think of God as being in heaven and sometimes we picture him sitting on a throne “up there”. Our verse tells us that God fills both the heavens and the earth with His presence. There is no possible way that we can hide from the presence of God. There is no way to live off the grid and disconnect from His presence. It is impressive to think of our Lord God filling all of heaven and earth – but to actually comprehend this is beyond our ability. We accept it by faith and believe it because it is a promise God has made.
