He Is Everywhere

Just a fun little story that reminds us of the omnipresence of God.

I received a call from the resource officer (School police officer) at Jonah's school. Jonah, my seven year old son was way out of line in class and was told so by the resource officer. However, Jonah did not know that the officer had called his parents.

On the ride home I said nothing. When we got to the house I told Jonah to go to his room and I would be right there. He wanted to know why and I told him that we would speak about it in a few minutes.

When I entered the room Jonah saw that there was something in my hand, let's just call it a domestic device for corporal punishment.

I asked him what had happened at school today and Jonah replied, "Nothing."

I asked him one more time and at this point Jonah's voice began to crack a little but still replied, "Nothing happened."

I asked one more time and I told him that if he came clean his punishment would be lighter and he responded, (with some tears now)"Nothing happened, no one had to get on to me today dad."

I said, "So the school resource officer didn't have to pull you out and talk to you today?" There was this long and eerie pause. The tears in Jonah's eyes began to flow more freely and he belted out, "I DIDN'T KNOW HE CALLED YOU" in a horrified surprise!

It amazes me that people get embarrassed when the preacher finds them someplace or doing something that is not godly, when the truth of God's presence is constantly proclaimed all around us in the glory of His creation. Not a move goes unnoticed.
