He is near enough to see us. "The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good" (Proverbs 15:3). "Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight" (Hebrews 4:13). God sees and knows everything about us.

He is near enough to hear us. "The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers" (1 Peter 3:12). Isn't it wonderful that we can talk to the Lord anywhere at anytime? "Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live" (Psalm 116:2).

He is near enough to be sympathetic to all our needs. "For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weakness, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:15-16).

He is near enough to walk with us "through the valley of the shadow of death." When Stephen was put to death the Lord was near enough for Stephen to see Him and to speak to Him. "Lord Jesus receive my spirit" (Acts 7:56-60).

The Lord is nearer to us than any person on earth. If we belong to Him, He has promised "... never to leave us nor forsake us" (Hebrews 13:5). Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, in order that by them you might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust." (2 Peter 1:2-4.)
