We know from our dogmatic theology that God is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent. It means that He is everywhere (like air, only He is not limited at all), He knows everything and He is powerful over everything.
At first it can be difficult to understand such things, but it comes with spiritual growth. And to grow spiritually we need to be part of Church life, read and learn, pray and trust God and His Church.
“It is easier to measure the entire sea with a tiny cup than to grasp the ineffable greatness of God with the human mind.”
Saint Basil the Great

Colossians 3:18-21
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. 20. Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. 21. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Bible is considered to be the most printed and read book in the world. No matter how many times you've read it, it's wonderfully how God opens new spiritual depths in it each time. But be careful, pray before reading and read Church Fathers interpretations as well. The Bible is the part of the Church and Sacred Tradition , and we can only understand it right within it.

“The Bible is a scented garden, delightful, beautiful, it enchants our ears with birdsong in a sweet, divine, and spiritual harmony, it touches our heart, comforts us in sorrow, soothes us in a moment of anger, and fills us with Eternal joy.” - Saint John of Damascus

Here on earth all of us humans are Wanderers and strangers. We are guests who have been allowed to wander here for a short time to collect treasures that will be useful to us in Heaven.

Colossians 3:22-24
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: 23. And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24. Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

— 🇮🇱/☦️ NEW: The Israeli Defense Ministry is negotiating with the family of David Bogdanovsky, a Christian Israeli soldier killed in Gaza in December, to remove a cross symbol from his headstone.
This policy is based on a ruling by the IDF Chief Rabbi, who stated that 'the holiness of the Jewish cemetery is harmed by the cross.'

It took Noah a hundred years to build his ark; log upon log he dragged to the construction. Do as he did; drag log upon log to your construction, patiently, in silence, day after day, and do not inquire about your surroundings. Remember that Noah was the only one in the whole world who ‘walked with God’ (Gen. 6:9), that is, in prayer. Imagine the crowding, the darkness, the stench, that he had to live in until he could step out into the pure air and build an altar to the Lord. The air and the altar you will find within you, explains St. John Chrysostom, but only after you have willingly gone through the same narrow gate as Noah.

☦️🕯️"The leaf that you needlessly ripped off the tree is green. This is not a sin, but you still regret it for some reason, for once the heart has learned to love, it pities every creature. Man is a great creation. If you see a man who is lost and dying, then cry and pray for him if you can, or, if you cannot, then at least sigh for him before God. The soul that does so is loved by God for it becomes like Him."🕯️☦️

And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
