God is above but He is not pushed up; He is beneath but He is not pressed down. He is outside but He is not excluded. He is inside but He is not confined. God is above all things presiding beneath all things, sustaining outside all things embracing and inside all things filling. He said that is the imminence of God. God with us. God Most Nigh.
