It follows, because God's incommunicable attribute of His great immensity to fill heaven and earth; fear not tomorrow, for God is already there, He fills heaven and earth! And He fills tomorrow with the comfort of His presence already there.
The Immensity of God means the comfort of God's presence abiding with His people even in their afflictions; remember, God communicated His glory to Moses, in the midst of the burning bush! God with His people in afflictions, though the afflictions may burn, yet God is in the Midst of the burning bush, for the afflictions of the flames were not able to consume the burning bush, for the immensity of God preserved the bush from being consumed by the flames. The implication of the Immensity of God is such that He is with His people in the midst of their burning afflictions they encounter in life.
Now consider the great "I Am", in His great immensity, when He was in the midst of the bloody Cross! Jesus suffered great agony and pain, nailed to the cross, yet His afflictions did not totally consume Him; He fully drank the burning affliction of God's wrath, yet, such burning afflictions did not totally consume Him, but rather, endured the burning affliction and quenched the wrath of God for the penalty of my sin, in His blood did it truly pay the price and put out the flame of God's wrath on my behalf, and on behalf of all those whom God the Father gave to Him before the foundation of the world!
Have you found comfort in the sublime immensity of God's great presence in the midst of the very person of your life under affliction's! Fear not tomorrow, for God is already there offering you great victory of Jesus' mighty conquering on the cross 2000 years ago! For His great immensity is with me now, tomorrow and forevermore! What great comfort in the midst of the burning bush! In the midst of the bloody cross! In the midst of His empty garden tomb! In the midst of His ascended glory at the right Hand of the glory of God, sitting at the right Hand of God the Father, on His majestic throne of glory, filling the heavens and earth, both in the earthly realm and Heavenly realm in His sublime immensity, indeed!
Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from thee;
Thou art he, who, never weary,
Watchest where thy people be."
Exodus 3:2-9:
2And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. 3And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” 4When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” 5Then he said, “Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” 6And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.7Then the LORD said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, 8and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 9And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
"Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to deliver you," declares the LORD. Jeremiah 1:8
23"Am I a God who is near," declares the LORD, "And not a God far off? 24"Can a man hide himself in hiding places So I do not see him?" declares the LORD. "Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?" declares the LORD.… Jeremiah 23:23-24
