Is God Everywhere, Omnipresent? -If God is not Omnipresent, can he really care for me?

 Yes, God cares deeply about individuals. Although he lives in a spirit realm, God notices those on earth who  truly want to please him, and he acts in their behalf.  (1 Kings 8:39; 1 Chronicles 16:9) Consider how Jehovah demonstrates his concern for sincere worshippers:

* When you pray: Jehovah can hear your prayer the moment you say it. - 2 CHRONICLES 18:31.

* When you are depressed: "Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; he saves those who are crushed in spirit." - PSALM  34:18.

* When you need direction:  Jehovah "will give you insight and instruct you" by means of  his Word, the Bible. - PSALM 32:8. 

Misconceptions about omnipresence

Misconception: God is present everywhere in creation.

Fact: God dwells neither on earth nor elsewhere in the physical universe. (1 Kings 8:27)  It is true that the stars and other creative works  "are declaring the glory of God." (Psalm 19:1) However, God does not inhabit his creation any more than artist who made it.  Similarly, the visible world tells us about the Creator's "invisible qualities," such as his power, wisdom, and love. - ROMANS 1:20.

Note: No, he doesn't live here physically on earth, but he is everywhere in mind, spirit, heart and eyes and he sees and knows everything from the spirit realm/heavens. He is highly intelligent and perfect so he is able to be everywhere. And besides,  since his is invisible, how do they know he isn't everywhere? Something to think about. 😉

Misconception: God must be omnipresent  in order to know all things and be al-powerful.

Fact: God's holy spirit, or active forc3e, is God in action. Through the holy spirit, God can perceive and do any thing, anywhere, at any time, without being present in person. - PSALM 139:7.

Misconception: Psalm 139:8 teaches that God is omnipresent by saying: "If I were to ascend to heaven, you would be there, and if I were to make my bed in the Grave, look! you would be there." - 

Fact: This Scripture is not talking about God's location. It poetically teaches that no place is too remote for God to act in our behalf.
