Omniscience

Pastor Martin expounds the second essential ingredient of the fear of God: a pervasive sense of the presence of God. He distinguishes mere intellectual knowledge of God's omnipresence from the experiential awareness that God is here, using the Grand Canyon analogy to show how facts become transforming only in the presence of their object. He traces this theme through Abraham's walk before God Almighty, Joseph's refusal of Potiphar's wife, and David's meditation in Psalm 139, applying it to the ethical and moral implications for daily Christian living.
