Songs for Worship #11

Welcome to the Sunday Series

Last year from January to June I wrote a series on
Why We Worship  where I considered an attribute of God each Sunday.


At different times people mentioned to me about a song that a post reminded them of so I thought that I would now go through those attributes again with a song for each one.






I hope you will follow along with me.



                         Looking today at 



God is Omnipresent 


He is Everywhere









Sovereign Over Us


There is strength within the sorrow, There is beauty in our tears
You meet us in our mourning, With a love that casts out fear
You are working in our waiting, Sanctifying us
When beyond our understanding, You’re teaching us to trust


CHORUS
Your plans are still to prosper, You have not forgotten us
You’re with us in the fire and the flood
Faithful forever, Perfect in love
You are sovereign over us



You are wisdom unimagined, Who could understand your ways

Reigning high above the heavens, Reaching down in endless grace

Youʼre the Lifter of the lowly, Compassionate and kind

You surround and You uphold me, Your promises are my delight



Bridge
Even what the enemy means for evil
You turn it for our good, You turn it for our good and for your glory
Even in the valley You are faithful
Youʼre working for our good, Youʼre working for our good and for your glory

Why We Worship 11




I am taking time each week to ask myself "Why we worship"


Today I want to focus on the fact 

                  yes fact 

                              that


God is everywhere.   


He is OMNIPRESENT



This doesn't mean that part of God is in one place, 
                                             
                                                  another part in another place 
                                                               
                                                                         or another in a third place.  


It means that all of Him is present everywhere at the same time, not part of Him in different places.

So there is no-one like our God because no-one can be everywhere at all times.



God has told us that He reigns in Heaven and Earth,























What a consoling and exciting piece of knowledge for us to have.


We are never alone from God, He always hears our prayers, He is always there to comfort, guide and support us.







However,

this also means that no-one can hide from 
God 
                         
                              or that we can do anything behind His back 
                                            
                                              as everything is done in His presence so He sees and hears it all.




Jeremiah 23:24

Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.







Does this not thrill you to know for a fact that wherever you go, He is there?
