If you’ve been following my experiment, you know that one of the words that God spoke to me that’s really rocked my world is about God’s ever-present, presence and that He doesn’t “come and go”, but I open and close myself to His already here presence.
While on my vacation, I’ve been working on a paper for a class I’m taking and the topic had to do with the theological messages in Genesis chapter 1. While I was running today, I began to realize that God being omnipresent has a greater meaning that being everywhere at one time… God is everywhere outside of the bounds of time. God is everywhere at all time.
If God created time (clearly shown in Gen 1:3) then he is not relegated or bound by it. When I say I serve an omnipresent God – I know now that he is in every physical place at every point in time. God is in my past, in my present, and in my future…
Something I’m still working through… but wanted to get it down for review…
P.S. Along this same line of thought I began to think. If darkness is the absence of light and evil is the absence of good, then what if eternity is the absence of time? Perhaps I have such a hard time comprehending eternity, because I’m trying to define it by something it is mutually exclusive of.
Bryan – enjoying your journey with you. I’m having trouble seeing the website. It shows up in dark purple background & green printing. Is that you or me? Anyway, Praying with you.
“Vocatus atque non vocatus, Deus aderit” is a Latin inscription meaning “Invoked or not invoked, God is present.”
The quote was made popular by Carl Jung, the eminent psychologist, who had the quote inscribed over the front door of his house, as well as on his tombstone.
