GOD IS ALWAYS NEAR
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people from this time forth and forever.
PSALM 125:2
God’s Word frequently reminds us of His continual presence (Matthew 28:20; Deuteronomy 31:6; Hebrews 13:5). As we walk with God and keep Him the Lord and Master of our lives, let’s remember that He has promised to be with us always. We can take advantage of the fact that we can have constant communication with Him as we live each day in His presence. Can you comprehend what a gift this is?
Make it your prayer to be keenly aware of His sweet presence that guides, comforts, and strengthens. Delight in Him who chooses to stay near His people—near you—at all times.
Father, You have promised to stay close to me. Remind me of this promise when I feel alone or afraid.
