"So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, 'You are a God of seeing,' for she said, 'Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.'"
- Genesis 16:13

By Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

God is present everywhere, as we learned last week. But one of the distinguishing traits of His people is that He is present in us as well!

"Am I a God at hand, declares the LORD, and not a God far away? 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."
- Jeremiah 23:23–24

There is nowhere we can go where God is not—even if we wanted to, we cannot flee from His presence.

"Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, 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."

The Attributes of God | Week 38: Omniscient

By Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

Does your heart condemn you with guilt, shame, or malice? Thankfully, God's understanding of us is greater than what others or even we believe about ourselves.

- 1 John 3:19–20

Are we willing to accept the attributes of God that we aren't so comfortable with—such as His vengeance, wrath, and jealousy?

The Attributes of God | Week 33: Jealous

By Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

Our ideas of God are always too small. We are not dealing with a tame God, but the God of the Bible who is jealous and wrathful.

"The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and wrathful; the LORD takes vengance on his adversaries and keeps wrath for his enemies."
- Nahum 1:2
