Divine Omnipresence
No height, depth or hidden place lies outside the God who fills all things
Divine omnipresence is the teaching that God is wholly present everywhere throughout his creation. Drawing on the tradition of Psalm 139, where no flight can escape God's presence, and developed by Augustine, it holds that God is not spread thinly across space but is fully present in every place at once. He sustains all that exists while remaining uncontained by it, near to all his creatures.
