Jeremiah 23:24 — Do I not fill heaven and earth?

Though God be in all places, even in the heart of a sinner by His inspection, and in hell by His justice, yet He does not mingle with the impurity or receive the least hint of evil. Augustine stated, "the divine nature does not intermix with created matter, nor is contaminated by its impurities." No more than the sun shining on a dunghill is defiled or its beauty tarnished, neither was Christ, when He was among sinners, defiled, because His Godhead was a sufficient antidote against infection.

Excellent words by Thomas Watson. I believe he is spot on. If God is everywhere, shouldn't this also be a motivation for holiness?
