The Nearness of God
Homilist
Psalm 119:151
You are near, O LORD; and all your commandments are truth.


I. THE MOMENTOUS IMPORT OF THE SOLEMN FACT. I hear people speaking of loneliness, and saying how chill is life, how bitter is their lot! What an implied insult to a God who is ever so near!

II. A FEW OF THE CONSEQUENCES WHICH THIS IMPORTANT FACT INVOLVES.

1. Then God knows all about us.

2. He not only knows us, but sees much to abhor.

3. He can also appreciate the good. The presence of God, then, should excite two vast opposing influences. It is deterrent to the bad, it is a help to the good.
