A People Near to God

".... a people near unto Him."

~ Ps. 148:14

Think of this, we are near Him!

• We who were afar are now brought near.  Closer we cannot be: He in us and we in Him!
• We are near in relationship.  He is our Kinsman Redeemer.  He took our nature so that we might be made like Him.
•  We are near to Him in thought and affection.  We are His segulah, His treasured possession. The apple of His eye!
• We are near to Him in attention.  He doesn't just consider us from a distance like someone glancing out a window at pedestrians on the street below.  No, He considers us so as to direct all our ways.  He orders time and space, history and all physical laws to His glory and to the good of His children.

 No wonder the Psalmist says we should Praise the Lord!  Hallelujah!
