Omnipresence: God’s unlimited presence throughout the universe and continuous existence throughout all time. His ability to be with His creation at all times and in all places.
***
Can I go anywhere apart from Your Spirit?
Is there anywhere I can go to escape Your watchful presence?
If I go up into heaven, You are there.
If I make my bed in the realm of the dead, You are there.
If I ride on the wings of morning,
if I make my home in the most isolated part of the ocean,
Even then You will be there to guide me;
Your right hand will embrace me, for You are always there.
Psalm 139:7-10 The Voice
***
We cannot attain the presence of God.
We’re already totally in the presence of God.
What’s missing is awareness.
David Brenner
***
You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Psalm 16:11 NIV
***
The most holy and important practice in the spiritual life
is the presence of God –
that is, every moment to take great pleasure that God is with you.

***
Surely the righteous will praise your name,
and the upright will live in your presence.
Psalm 140:13 NIV
***
All of life is to be lived in the presence and power of God,
not just for a few minutes or even an hour in the morning.
It’s as though we want to take a tiny nibble of spiritual food
and hope that sustains us for a while;
then we wonder why we’re so weary and unable to live as Christ calls us to live.
To truly enjoy the abundant life Jesus invited us into,
we need to be more aware of God all the time, just as he was.
We need that regular, focused quiet time,
but we also need to take our awareness of and commitment to God
into our more numerous “noisy times”.

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
who walk in the light of your presence, Lord.
Psalm 89:15 NIV
