Jeremiah 23:23-24 (GNT): “I am a God who is everywhere and not in one place only

[Isaac Samuel Lubwama]

Jeremiah 23:23-24 (GNT): “I am a God who is everywhere and not in one place only. No one can hide where I cannot see them. Do you not know that I am everywhere in heaven and on earth?”.

 

[Articles]

We thank you for bringing this powerful truth from Scripture to our attention, though we notice you’ve referenced the Good News Translation (GNT) rather than the World English Bible (WEB). The passage you’ve shared is indeed a profound reminder of God’s omniscience and omnipresence—a truth that should both comfort and convict us as His children. Let us turn to the WEB for clarity and depth:

*"Am I a God at hand, says Yahweh, and not a God far away? Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I can’t see him? says Yahweh. Don’t I fill heaven and earth? says Yahweh."* (Jeremiah 23:23-24, WEB)

These verses declare the unmatched sovereignty of our God. He is not confined to a temple, a mountain, or even the heavens alone—He is everywhere, all at once. There is no corner of creation where His gaze does not penetrate, no thought or motive hidden from His understanding. This truth should fill us with awe, but it should also lead us to examine our hearts. If God sees all, knows all, and is present in all, how then should we live?

First, let us be **comforted**. There is no trial, no loneliness, no suffering you face where God is not already present. When you feel abandoned or overlooked, remember: He fills heaven and earth. He is with you in the valley as surely as He is on the mountaintop. As David proclaimed, *"Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence? If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!"* (Psalm 139:7-8, WEB). You are never beyond His reach or His care.

Yet this same truth should also bring **conviction**. If God sees all, then every secret sin, every hidden motive, every word spoken in darkness is laid bare before Him. There is no hypocrisy we can maintain, no deception we can sustain in His presence. The prophet Jeremiah spoke these words to false prophets who claimed to speak for God while their hearts were far from Him. Their lies could not escape His notice. Similarly, we must ask ourselves: Are there areas of our lives where we attempt to hide from God? Do we harbor sin, thinking it goes unnoticed? Let us remember the words of Hebrews: *"All things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do"* (Hebrews 4:13, WEB). Repentance is our only proper response.

Finally, this truth should inspire **worship**. A God who is everywhere is a God worthy of all honor, glory, and praise. He is not a distant deity, uninterested in our daily lives, but an ever-present Father who knows our rising and our sitting, our coming and our going. Let us live in the light of His presence, walking in holiness and gratitude.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we bow before You in reverence, for You are the God who fills heaven and earth. There is no place we can go where Your presence does not precede us, no darkness so deep that Your light cannot penetrate it. Lord, we thank You that You see us—not just our actions, but our hearts, our motives, our deepest needs. You are the God who is near, even when we feel far from You.

Father, search our hearts today. Reveal to us any area where we have tried to hide from You, any sin we have attempted to conceal. Convict us where we need repentance, and grant us the grace to turn from our wicked ways. Cleanse us, O God, and create in us a pure heart, renewed and steadfast before You.

For those who feel forgotten or alone, remind them of Your nearness. Let them take comfort in knowing that You are with them, that nothing in all creation can separate them from Your love. Strengthen them to walk in faith, even when the path is dark.

And Lord, may this truth—Your omnipresence—lead us to worship. May we live every moment in awareness of Your holy gaze, striving to honor You in all we do. Teach us to walk blamelessly, not out of fear, but out of love for You, who first loved us.

We ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone makes us acceptable in Your sight. Amen.

We're here with you, standing on the promise of Jeremiah 23:23-24. God is indeed everywhere, not confined to one place, but filling heaven and earth. It's a comforting thought, isn't it? No matter where we are, no matter what we're going through, God is there. He sees us, He knows us, He's with us.

Let's take a moment to meditate on that. Let's imagine the places we've been, the struggles we've faced, the joys we've celebrated. God was there, in every single one of them. He's not a distant God, but an intimate one. He's not just in the big moments, but in the small, mundane ones too.

But this truth also challenges us, doesn't it? If God is everywhere, if He sees all, then we can't hide from Him. We can't pretend to be something we're not. We can't live in secret sin. It's a call to authenticity, to transparency before Him.

Let's pray together:

Dear God,

Thank You for being everywhere. Thank You for being here with us now. Thank You for seeing us, for knowing us, for loving us.

Search our hearts, Lord. Show us where we've tried to hide from You. Show us the areas where we need to repent, where we need to turn back to You. Cleanse us, God. Make us new.

For those feeling alone, remind them of Your presence. Let them feel Your comfort, Your strength. Help them to trust in You, even in the darkest times.

And God, help us to worship You. Help us to live in the light of Your presence, to honor You in all we do. Help us to love You more, to serve You better.

We ask all this in Jesus' name. Amen.

We want to thank you for allowing us to join you in lifting this powerful reminder of God’s omnipresence before His throne. It has been our honor to stand with you in prayer, declaring the truth that our Heavenly Father sees all, knows all, and is never distant from His children—whether in the heights of joy or the depths of struggle. His eyes are upon you, His heart is for you, and His presence surrounds you, even when the path feels unclear or the burden heavy.

We are eager to hear how the Lord has been moving in your life since you first shared this Scripture. Has He revealed Himself in new ways, reminding you of His nearness and sovereignty? Have you sensed His peace or guidance in areas where you’ve longed to see His hand? If so, we would love for you to share a praise report with us, so we can rejoice together in His faithfulness and give Him the glory He deserves.

If this season still feels like a waiting room, where God’s presence is known but His answers are not yet fully seen, we want you to know we are still here, ready to persist in prayer alongside you. You are not forgotten by God—or by us. Feel free to share an update or repost your request, and we will continue to intercede, trusting that the God who fills heaven and earth is working all things for His purpose and your good.

May you be encouraged today by the truth you’ve lifted up: *He is not a God who is far off, but One who is near, seeing you, knowing you, and holding you fast in His love.* We are praying that you would experience His presence in tangible ways, that His Spirit would whisper truth to your heart, and that you would rest in the assurance that nothing is hidden from His sight—or beyond His reach.

We are standing with you, believing with you, and trusting alongside you in Jesus’ name.
