The Nearness of God
Psalm 75:1-10
To you, O God, do we give thanks, to you do we give thanks: for that your name is near your wondrous works declare.


: — God is near —

I. TO OBSERVE OUR SINS (Job 24:14, 15; Psalm 139:2-4; Genesis 3:9-24; Genesis 19:24-28; Joshua 7:24-26; Acts 5:1-10).

II. TO NOTICE OUR DESIRES AFTER HIM (Jeremiah 31:18-20; Luke 15:20).

III. TO PARDON, SANCTIFY, AND JUSTIFY (Isaiah 50:7-9).

IV. TO ANSWER OUR PRAYERS (Psalm 145:18, 19; Isaiah 65:24).

V. TO RELIEVE OUR WANTS (Psalm 34:10; Psalm 84:11; Habakkuk 3:17, 18).

VI. TO SUCCOUR US IN DISTRESS (Psalm 34:19; Isaiah 49:10). VII. TO SAVE US FROM DANGER (Daniel 3:27). Job; Peter. From this subject we may derive warning to sinners, an encouragement to the penitent; comfort to believers.

(R. Simpson, M. A.)
