The God Who is Near
“…a God at hand…not a God afar off.” ~ Jer. 23:23
God is omnipresent; He is everywhere at the same time. The first ten verses of the 139th Psalm bear this out. Try to understand it with your finite mind and you’ll end up joining the chorus with David and the rest of us singing, “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.”
God is in Heaven, but He is also here. He is universal, but He is also local. Paul expresses this blessed fact by telling us, “[H]e be not far from everyone of us.” What a glorious day when we come to realize this. It is then that we will echo Jacob’s words of long ago. “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.”
If God is “…a very present help in trouble,” then He is within hollerin’ distance!
