Safety comes in our nearness to God, not in our distance from our enemies.

From Psalm 91:1-4:  “You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.’  For He will deliver you from the snare of the hunter and from the deadly pestilence; He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and defense.”

Dillon Burroughs (born 1976) is a best-selling American writer with nearly 40 books published.  His birthplace is Norwalk, Ohio.

Always Near

From Isaiah 40:10-11:  “See, the Lord God comes with might, and His arm rules for Him; His reward is with Him and His recompense before Him.  He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs in His arms and carry them in His bosom and gently lead the mother sheep.”

When it seems as if God is far away, remind yourself that He is near.  Nearness is not a  matter of geography.  God is everywhere.

From Psalm 8:1:  “Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!  You have set Your glory above the heavens.”
