God is omniscient; He is also omnipresent. There is no place I can go that escapes His attention. He encircles me. He hems me in, not to confine me or limit me, but to protect me, to be my secure shelter. His hand is on me. Has anyone ever guided you on an unfamiliar pathway, providing safe passage? Or put an arm around you in a moment of personal anguish? These acts bolster us, give us confidence, and comfort us. God is always there to guide and direct us or offer us comfort in the midst of life’s storms. That’s how much God values us. No one will ever be as concerned about me as God is.
