Psalm 34:17-19
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, and rescues them from all their troubles. The LORD is near the brokenhearted; he saves those crushed in spirit. One who is righteous has many adversities, but the LORD rescues him from them all.
Jesus' name is Emmanuel- God WITH us! His identity as one who is near will always blow my mind. Its in his nature to draw in close to us. He will always be the closest thing in proximity to us, and anything that tries to attack us must go through him first. He is quick to hear and delights in rescuing his beloved. He is well aware of all our adversities and He is a passionate protector! We can depend upon the nearness of the Lord, and take both resting and fighting stances from this place.
