God is Omnipresent. God is always there.
To grow
our confidence in the omnipresence of God through worship.
Psalm 139
New
International Version
1 You have searched me, Lord,
and
you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you
perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you
are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,
and
you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too
lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where
can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if
I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if
I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your
right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and
the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the
night will shine like the day,
for
darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;
you
knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your
works are wonderful,
I
know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when
I was made in the secret place,
when
I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all
the days ordained for me were written in your book
before
one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How
vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they
would outnumber the grains of sand—
when
I awake, I am still with you.
19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
Away
from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your
adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,
and
abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I
count them my enemies.
23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
test
me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and
lead me in the way everlasting.
Isaiah 43:1-5
New
International Version
43 But now, this is what the Lord says—
he
who created you, Jacob,
he
who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I
have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I
will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they
will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you
will not be burned;
the
flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the Lord your God,
the
Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I give Egypt for your ransom,
Cush and
Seba in your stead.
4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight,
and
because I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you,
nations
in exchange for your life.
5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
I
will bring your children from the east
and
gather you from the west.
