If a fool has reason to fear the omnipresence of God, then believers have reason to delight in His omnipresence. Thomas Watson explains:
If God be everywhere present, then for a Christian to walk with God is not impossible. God is not only in heaven, but he is in earth too. Isa 66:6: Heaven is his throne, there he sits; the earth is his footstool, there he stands. He is everywhere present, therefore we may come to walk with God. ‘Enoch walked with God.’ Gen 5:52. If God was confined to heaven, a trembling soul might think, How can I converse with God, how can I walk with him who lives in excelsis; above the upper region? but God is not confined to heaven; he is omnipresent; he is above us, yet he is about us, he is near to us. Acts 17:77.…He is present with us, God is in every one of us; so that here on earth we may walk with God. In heaven the saints rest with him, on earth they walk with him. To walk with God is to walk by faith. We are said to draw nigh to God, Heb 10:02, and to see him. Heb 11:17. ‘As seeing him who is invisible:, and to have fellowship with him. I John 1:1. ‘Our fellowship is with the Father.’ Thus we may take a turn with him every day by faith. It is slighting God not to walk with him. If a king be in presence, it is slighting him to neglect him, and walk with the page. There is no walk in the world so sweet as to walk with God. Psa 89:15. ‘They shall walk in the light of thy countenance.’ Psa 138:8. ‘Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord.’ It is like walking among beds of spices, which send forth a fragrant perfume.
Thus, the omnipresence is not only a comfort from His sovereignty, but it is also an invitation to His fellowship! What joy is this infinite and gracious God.
