Every other creature or being is limited by the constraints of time and space - but not God. He created time, but is not hindered by it; He created space, but is not hindered by it. He is omnipresent - everywhere, all the time.
However, God's omnipresence means much more to me than what the dictionary says.
Indeed, He is everywhere at the same, but to me, it means He's present in every situation I am in. His omnipresence tells me He is ever present, ever near; that He is WITH ME ALWAYS no matter what I face.
The same is true for every one of His own. He is present WITH you in every situation you are in; He has ALWAYS been WITH you and He will ALWAYS be WITH you. God is not only omnipresent, He is ever present, ever near.
No matter how dark the nights may seem, or how blurry the future looks, He is WITH you; the omnipresent one is ever present.

He was WITH the three Hebrew guys in the fire (Daniel 3).
He was WITH Joseph in prison in a foreign land (Genesis 39:2, 23).
He was WITH David in the wilderness when he was running for his life and hiding in caves (1 Samuel 22:1-4).
He was WITH Jesus through His suffering leading up to the cross (Philippians 3:10).
He was WITH Elijah at the brook (1 Kings 17:2-6).
He was WITH Abraham everywhere he went (Genesis 20).
He was WITH Isaac after he lost his father (Genesis 25:11).
He was, He is and He will always be WITH any and every person who puts faith and trust in Him - He is omnipresent; He is ever present, ever near.
What is it that you are going through? Know that the omnipresent is present WITH you in it; you are not alone! You are never alone! So, get out of that pity party and enjoy the company of the ever-present omnipresent God.

Reflect on these Scriptures
"Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend into heaven, you are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me" - Psalm 139:7.
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your saviour ...Fear not, for I am with you..." - Isaiah 43:2-3,5.
Whatever you may be going through, know that the Omnipresent One is there... WITH you - through the rivers, through the fire, even "in the uttermost parts of the sea" - "even there His hand shall lead you". He is ever present, ever near, He is omnipresent.
Lovely message. This is a takeaway for me:
