Psalm 139:7-12. NKJV
God is everywhere. He's in heaven, David also made mention that he is in hell, but he would have been referring to Sheol, which normally has the sense of the grave. However, let's not forget Jesus rose from the dead; He blasted out of hell; it couldn't hold Him, and He overpowered it, defeating sin.
Mason discussing Spurgeon, commented:
'The presence of God's glory is in heaven; the presence of His power on earth; the presence of His justice in hell and the presence of His grace, with His people.'
(Mason citing Spurgeon)
So God is everywhere. There's nowhere He hasn't been or is at. We're forever watched over like He has a gigantic CCTV system. He keeps His eyes upon us. There's no hiding place from Him too. Jonah found that out when God told him to go and preach to the people of Nineveh. Instead of obeying God, Jonah took a ship to Tarshish. But God saw this. Jonah was cast into the sea and swallowed by a whale. Even in the body of a whale, God was there. Jonah Chapters 1 & 2. God sees and knows all.
God asked, 'Can anyone hide himself in secret places, so I shall not see him?' Jeremiah 23:24. There is no hiding place from God at all. Space officials tell us there is no life on the Moon, Mars or elsewhere in the galaxy. You know what? I bet God's presence is there.
We are always in His thoughts and forever watched over, His hands of grace reaching out to us. And no one can ever prevent you seeking His love and grace. His arms are always open just waiting for that time when you decide to run up to Him for a heavenly hug.
Probably you need that today. Jonah didn't get out of the belly of the whale until he repented and began to praise God. As soon as he did, God spoke to the fish and it vomited him up onto dry land. Jonah 2:10. That is food for thought!
Why not go to Him for that heavenly hug today? You'll feel better for it.
