David asks, "Where shall I go from your Spirit? Where shall I flee from your presence?" — and finds, perhaps to his surprise, that the answer is nowhere. Tozer explores the gift and the gravity of God being everywhere.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Tozer carefully distinguishes omnipresence from pantheism — the idea that God and the universe are the same thing. How is God's presence *in* all things different from God being *the same as* all things?
2.He reflects on the strange duality of God's omnipresence: it is both a comfort for the believer and a solemnity for everyone. How do you feel God's everywhere-presence differently in different circumstances — in joy, in temptation, in grief?
3.Tozer draws on the mystic tradition's idea of "practicing the presence of God" — the discipline of living with continuous awareness that God is here. What would it practically look like for you to cultivate that awareness in the ordinary moments of your day?
a.What specific moments or places in your week most tend to feel "godless" or secular to you?
b.How might the truth of omnipresence transform your experience of those moments?
