Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.

Deuteronomy 4:39

God is often described as omnipresent, and the Bible affirms his presence here on Earth. The beauty of this is that God’s presence is still divine and pure and all-powerful, but not inaccessible and distant. Rather than a foreign God down a cave or up a mountain yet very local, the Lord’s presence permeates all of creation: the Sustainer remains with his people, the world he made and all of the cosmos.

Our Lord is not an alien god in some ethereal realm far away. God is here, now.
