Can a man hide himself in secret places, So that I will not see him? declares Jehovah. Do I not fill the heavens and the earth? Declares Jehovah.

Jeremiah 23:24

Lesson 5

God is Everywhere (Omnipresent)

Elementary

Verse: “Where shall I go, away from Your Spirit, And where shall I flee from Your presence?” (Psalm 139:7).

Focus: God is everywhere.

Practical Application: Ask the children, “Can your parents be in two rooms at the same time? What if you need your mom and your brother or sister needs her at the same time? Can your teachers be everywhere in the classroom to help all the children at the same time?” Our God is everywhere and He can help us wherever we are.

Intermediate

Verse: “Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the blazing furnace of fire” (Daniel 3:17a).

Focus: God is everywhere so He is always with us.

Practical Application: Even when we are in a situation at night or at school we may feel like we are all alone, God is with us to help us. No matter where we are we can pray to God. Have the children name different places on the earth they have visited and ask them if God can hear their prayers in that place. Tell the story from Daniel chapter 3. Even when we are in a situation where no one can help us, God is with us to help us.

Advanced

Verse: “Can a man hide himself in secret places, So that I will not see him? declares Jehovah. Do I not fill the heavens and the earth? Declares Jehovah” (Jeremiah 23:24).

Focus: God is everywhere and He sees what we do and where we go even though our parents may not know.

Practical Application: Our friends may encourage us to go to certain places and to do certain things. We may think that if our parents don’t know, we will be fine. But God is everywhere, and He will know. We sometimes try to hide the things we have done wrong or hide from our parents when we know we have been naughty. Even though there might be a place where we can go that our parents will not find us, there is no place to hide from God and nothing is hidden from God.
