(Psalm 121) The nearness of our God

The Lord  is  your keeper; the Lord  is  your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

Never forget the nearness of our God.  He is nearer to us than any calamity, than any circumstance.  He is the shade at our right hand on the hottest day. The secret to all spiritual growth is the increasing ability (by the grace of the Holy Spirit) to practice the presence of God—every day and every hour.
