How is God everywhere?

How is God everywhere?
********************************

God is omnipresent.

God is everywhere

"Where can I go from your spirit?

From your presence, where can I flee?

If I ascend to the heavens, you are there;

if I lie down in Sheol, there you are.

If I take the wings of dawn
and dwell beyond the sea."(Psalm.139:7-9)

God is everywhere by His attributes.

He is absolutely transcendent.

That is, He is  beyond  the range of normal or physical human experience.

God is beyond time and space.

Our time is chronological and can be measured in terms of seconds, minutes, hours, days, months and years.

But God is beyond our time and is eternal.

Eternity cannot be measured, it has no beginning and no end.

God is a Spirit and cannot occupy space and hence He is beyond space.

Only matter can occupy space; God created matter, but He is a spirit, not matter.

Time and space are concepts, applicable only to created things, not to their Creator.

He is permanently pervading and sustaining the universe.

God does not have His attributes, He is His attributes.

He does not have justice and mercy, as if these were things He could acquire or lose.

He is justice.

He is mercy.

He is greatness.

We have love, but, God does not have love,

He is love.

He is His thoughts.

Actually God does not think in the way we do.

He does not ruminate.

As His thought is complete we refer it to as the Word.

God is His Word

The Word is God ( John 1:1 ).

He is  goodness.

He is omnipotence.

He is omniscient.

Jesus did not say, "I will show you the way.''

He said,

"I am the way;

I am truth

and

life; "

He is the light of the world.

As He is everywhere, all things are in Him as He is in them.

God’s whole being is everywhere.

We witness Jesus' wholeness in Eucharist.

Each and every consecrated Host is Jesus' whole being.

We can break the Host into pieces, but we cannot break Jesus.

Jesus is fully present in each and every piece of the Host.

In the same way, God is wholly present everywhere by His attributes

truth,

goodness,

justice

mercy,

wisdom,

Power,

and

love.
