Sometimes others criticize or even mock Christians regarding their commitment to the God of the universe. They say, “Where is your God?” (Psalm 42:10). Often underlying such comments is the idea that if God was so great, why don’t they see Him or His work on your behalf? This is an interesting question. Here are some of the answers the Word of God provides regarding where God is. These answers provide comfort for those who know God personally as Savior.
God is around you for your protection; the LORD surrounds you forever (Psalm 125:2).
God is above you since the LORD is both in heaven and on earth (Deuteronomy 4:39).
He keeps His watchful eye on you to protect you and all those who revere Him (Psalm 33:18).
God is under you to support you with His everlasting arms (Deuteronomy 33:27).
God is in front of you, leading you; your LORD goes before you (Exodus 13:21; Deuteronomy 1:30).
God is on your side protecting you as He holds your right hand (Isaiah 41:13).
God is behind you providing protection from attacks from the rear (Isaiah 52:12).
God is always near you when you call upon Him (Psalm 145:18).
God is with you; therefore you should not fear (Isaiah 41:10).
God is for you. Because of that no one can effectively stand against you (Romans 8:31).
God dwells with you and with all those who have a humble spirit (Isaiah 57:15).
God is in you, which is your assurance of glory (Colossians 1:27).
In summary, He is everything you need! Christ is your “all and in all” (Colossians 3:11). How thankful we should be that God has made provision for our every need.
