0729. GOD AT HAND

GOD AT HAND

"Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off" (Jer_23:23).

What a comfort to the believer that God, even our God, has been pleased to reveal Himself as a God at hand. Always within reach, always at hand to answer the cry of need, and to bless the touch of faith. Oh, the fullness of love and power that dwells in Him, and all this at hand for every time of need. Why should we be fretful and discontented with such a Friend continually at hand? But, alas, how many deal with Him as if He were for ever afar off and beyond the grasp of their feeble faith, "Lo, I am with you alway." A God at hand! What strength this should give. What holy courage this Divine nearness should inspire.
