This morning to begin worship we read:
Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the LORD. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the LORD.
One of Job's friends, Eliphaz, thought that God could not see through dark clouds (Job 22:13-14). Laban thought that his god could be stolen (Genesis 31:30)! But when David explored God's omnipresence in Psalm 139, he was awestruck:
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.
When his thoughts settled, he knew how this great truth could be used:
Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!
You see, in every dark alley, in every corporate boardroom, at every dinner table, at every marital spat, on every walk with a child, in front of every internet screen, between you and the COVID virus, . . . is God.
