![]() If I live at the eastern horizon or settle at the western limits, even there your hand will lead me. “Where can I go to escape your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to heaven, you are there if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. Scripture indicates the omnipresent nature of God in many locations, but it is most explicitly found in Psalm 139. There is not a place where God’s presence is not found. ![]() Thus, God has the capacity to be in all places at all points of time. The word omnus means “all.” We all understand what the term presence means. One divine attribute that provides both awe and serenity is God’s divine omnipresence. When we understand the grandeur of God, our worries tend to fade away in the warm, strong arms of God. Mitchell noted that he did not mean to say that we make God bigger in our imaginations, but rather we begin to understand how big God truly is the more we study him. Daniel Mitchell, Professor of Theology at Liberty University, to ring true, “The more we study God, the bigger God becomes.” I asked him about what he meant by that statement in a class that I had with him. I merely mention this to note the great impact theology has made in my life.Įven while I have devoted much of my time to theological studies, I still find the words of Dr. I certainly don’t say this to sound braggadocios. I guess you could call me an overachiever. I realized that by the time I finish my Ph.D., I will carry 30 hours of theological study. Curious as to what hours I held, I began to investigate how many hours I possess in different fields. As I mentioned in a previous post, I realized that schools hiring teachers desire applicants to possess 18 hours of graduate study in a chosen field. My resume will show how much I love theology. While God used apologetics to bring me back to faith, God uses theology to humble, awe, and comfort me before his amazing presence.
