In this sermon, Rev. C. H. Spurgeon reflects on the omnipresence of God and our tendency to forget His constant presence in our lives. Drawing from the book of Job, he emphasizes that God’s hand is at work in every aspect of creation and in our daily experiences, both in times of joy and in trials. Spurgeon encourages believers to recognize God’s sovereignty and to live in a way that acknowledges His presence in all things.

Discussion Questions

  1. Understanding Omnipresence: How does the concept of God’s omnipresence affect your understanding of daily life? In what ways can you remind yourself of God’s presence throughout your day?
  2. Recognizing God in Trials: Spurgeon suggests that we should see God in our trials. Reflect on a recent challenge you faced. How can viewing that situation as part of God’s plan change your perspective?
  3. The Language of Faith: Spurgeon criticizes the use of complex language in theology. How can we ensure that our discussions about God remain accessible and relatable to others?
  4. Dependence on God: Spurgeon emphasizes our complete dependence on God for life and sustenance. In what areas of your life do you struggle to acknowledge this dependence? How can you cultivate a greater awareness of it?
  5. God in the Little Things: Spurgeon encourages us to see God in the small details of life. What are some “little things” in your life where you can recognize God’s hand at work?
  6. Prayer and Acknowledgment: How can prayer serve as a means to acknowledge God’s presence in both the big and small events of your life? What specific prayers can you incorporate into your routine to express this acknowledgment?
  7. The Call to the Sinner: Spurgeon ends with a call to those who have not yet accepted Christ. How can you share the message of God’s presence and love with someone who may be struggling with their faith or understanding of God?

Prayer

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your constant presence in my life. Help me to recognize Your hand at work in both the joys and trials I face. Teach me to depend on You fully and to see Your goodness in every situation. May I be a witness to others of Your love and sovereignty. Open my eyes to the little things where I can see You, and guide my heart to seek You in prayer. I ask for Your grace to share this message with those around me who may not yet know You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
