You can not hide!

Men,

In my study to prepare for my Oral Doctrinal Exam to become a full time missionary, I came across the verse Jeremiah 23:24 "Can a man hide himself in hiding places so I do not see him?" declares the Lord.  "Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?"  This verse speaks to God's Omnipresence.  I just can't get over the enormity of our God in this verse.  God tells us that He fills EVERYTHING but NOTHING can contain Him.  What a paradox???  Can you even fathom this?  No you can't and neither can I but think on it for a second...He is right next to you ALWAYS whether you know it or not.  He's in the plane that crashes to the earth; He's in the building that collapsed on 9/11; He is in the delivery room when your first child was born; He was next to you when you made your vows; He is in your room when you are crying;  He is smiling when you win the race.

I can go on...and on...and on...and on.  I could go on my whole life and never name every instance. 

"He sees the depths of my heart, but He loves me just the same."  Oh what a great Father is He.
