He is With Us

As we study God’s Word we realize that our God is not an impersonal, at a distance God. He is a combination of Transcendence, which means that His greatness is beyond our comprehension and Immanence, which describes His nearness to us. The greatness of the almighty God sends us to our knees in humility. But the goodness of God lifts us back to our feet in grateful, jubilant praise. The One who is above everything humbled Himself and became one of us (Psalm 135:5; Philippians 2:8). In knowing this and having these truths about God deep down inside of us, it should begin to fill you with a realization that God Himself is near to you, His child, and thusly cares deeply about you and for lack of better words, “has your back.” He watches over His own in a close relationship, and enables us to walk with confidence because we know that He is always with us, at all times and through all situations we face in our day.
