As a children’s Sunday school teacher for many years, I was often asked this question, “Where is God?”
My response: God is in heaven.
God is in our hearts.
Another question often asked was, “Is God watching us?”
My response: The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous.
His ears are open to our cry.
He sees the past, present, and future of our lives.
He never sleeps nor slumbers.
His eyes are constantly watching us.
He is our hiding place.
He preserves us from trouble.
He surrounds us with songs of deliverance.
He instructs us in the way that we should go.
He guides us.
These are a few of God’s Promises in the book of Psalms.
How can that be?
As I typed these words, God was speaking to my heart. Those words totally wreck my heart.
To say God ‘wrecks my heart’ is slang for a state of euphoria. Euphoria means experiencing pleasure, excitement and intense feelings of well-being and happiness.
How in the world could I have a state of euphoria?
I am old. I am tired.
I forget things.
I am busy.
One of my favorite statements seems to be, “It is always something.”
When I say those words, a sigh usually accompanies them.
But then I remember the goodness of God! And I thank God — for everything!
God is a miracle that we all have access to.
He will come live in our hearts.
The Holy Spirit is God’s spirit, God’s power, God’s breath, God’s active force and influence over the universe and His creations. God created us in His image, and He speaks to us through the Holy Spirit.
Jeremiah 31:33 says, “I will put my teachings in their minds. And I will write them on their hearts.”
In our minds. On our hearts.
He is our God.
We are His people.
What more could we ask for from our Savior, Jesus Christ? Incredible. Amazing. Extraordinary. Magnificent. Wonderful. Marvelous. Spectacular. We are God’s people!
Where is God?
He is everywhere!
