The divine doesn't have to be omnipotent and omnipresent, though, does it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Any creative ideas for finding house cleaning service employee candidates?

Well, that's the big question. If the divine is omnipresent (and I think in many traditions that might be true) than it is not able to be confined? I think I'm confusing myself.

No, definitely not. IM(limited)E, for example, there's Changing Woman, who lived in a hogan in my backyard. Literally in my backyard. I lived at the base of Huerfano Mountain (Dzil na'odilii), which is where she was supposed to have made her home.
For a while. She was clearly not limited in other ways, grew up in four days, hit puberty, married the sun. She aged, but could regenerate. But she was supposed to be in a very specific geographic location for a time.

I don't think of the god of the sea as omnipotent or omnipresent--s/he has their domain of power.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Depends on what you believe, I'd say. I don't think "omnipotent & omnipresent" inherent to the meaning of the word "divine," but they seem to be pretty common attributes.

Are we allowed to confine the divine in any way?
Initially, this made me picture the divine as Angel the vampire in the box in the ocean.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, have you seen these boots on amazon: [link] Since it's Friday Sale at Amazon, they are $30.
Wow. I'll have to check out Amazon! Since it seems I'm going to be screwed over by Aerosoles. I'm not a super fan of the stretchy faux-leather, but I'll see what else they have.

Even in polytheistic religions?

?I'm not a super fan of the stretchy faux-leather,
I was wondering if they'd be stretchy enough to fit over my legs. But then I remembered, I'm not really buying new shoes or clothes. So then I stopped looking.
