Jeremiah 23:24 – “If any man (person) should hide himself in secret places (we all have them), I will see him, says the LORD; behold, heaven and earth are FILLED WITH ME, says the LORD of hosts.”  [Emphasis Mine].

I saw something wonderful as I read, prayed, pondered, and mused on God’s Word, Promises, Purpose, and Power. It was in Jeremiah 23:24.

As I meditated on the Word, several things captured my consciousness.   God is Everywhere, so Nothing escapes His awareness.    I have had people say, “I can’t find God. He is a million miles from me.”  If that is true, this passage is a lie.  God is Here, There, and Everywhere!

We all have our escape places where we hide.  Subconsciously, we act as if God does not see us – He Does!  If we are there to reconnect with Him, He is our hope, and the fact that He is Everywhere is powerfully comforting.   If we are there trying to hide from Him, others, or even ourselves, He is a terror to us.

It is terrifying if we are hiding the thought that He is There.   We need to realize and embrace God’s omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence.  The Living God is with us to help, not hurt.  He is here to love, not condemn. But God judges, right?  Yes and No.  He does render the final verdict, but we would condemn ourselves through unbelief and disobedience, which is rebellion.

Matthew 6:33 anchors Jesus’ declaration that the Father knows what we need even before we ask. If we truly realize He IS—He is here, there, and everywhere—then finding Him is as simple as calling to Him.

If we embrace the reality that all heaven and earth are filled with Him, we know we are Never Alone!   We know that His desire is fellowship with us and to give us the fruits of the Kingdom. 

Those fruits are life, peace, health, blessing, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, love, faith, grace, and power over all the enemies of life—freedom from worry, fear, and doubt.  Compassion compels us toward perfection and links our hearts to His.  We are enabled to see people and life through His eyes.  Transformation!

His presence transforms and sets us free.  It is there that we truly learn to live.   Never say He is not near; that is a lie of the devil and the mind.  Never say we can’t hear Him; that’s a lie of the devil and the mind. 

If He is here, there, and everywhere, what could we lack since we are His, and He can do all things, owns all things, and has all power?  We are to live conscious of Him, knowing that because He is here, we have nothing to fear and have no sense of lack because He has no deficiency.   Embrace His presence and live fully and fearlessly.

Rejoice, God is Here, There, and Everywhere, and that is Good News!
