Psalms 145:17-18. The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his work. The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
As the omnipresent Deity, the Lord is not far from any one of us; but there is a peculiar nearness of God to his people,-a nearness of knowledge, a nearness of affection, a nearness of heart by which he looks upon them as his own special portion, his own peculiar heritage: "Jehovah is nigh unto all them that call upon him." That is the name of his people; they are a calling people, they are a praying people, and they pray to him "in truth." There are some who offer the mockery of pretended prayer, but God is not near to them in the special sense in which he "is nigh unto all them that call upon him in truth."
