God Is Near Sunday, June 14, 2026

He goes with you always

On a day set apart for Him, settle on the steadiest form of His nearness: God has promised never to leave you, ever. His presence goes with you for the whole of your life and beyond, steady through whatever your circumstances are doing. However close or far He has felt, He has not stepped away once, and He will not leave. Let that be the ground under you today. You are living with a God who has bound Himself to be with you, not waiting to see whether He shows up. Carry that certainty into everything ahead.

Through the day
Morning

Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be affrighted at them: for Jehovah thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Deuteronomy 31:6 · ASV

Moses tells the people to be strong because Jehovah Himself goes with them and will not fail nor forsake them. The command to courage rests entirely on God's unbroken presence.

Afternoon

I have set Jehovah always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Psalm 16:8 · ASV

David keeps God always before him and, because God is at his right hand, says I shall not be moved. Steady awareness of God's nearness is what keeps him unshaken.

Evening

Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden my right hand.

Psalm 73:23 · ASV

Even after admitting his doubt, Asaph says I am continually with thee, thou hast holden my right hand. God did not let go through the very stretch where Asaph nearly did.

Night

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Psalm 121:3 · ASV

The psalm promises that the One who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. God's watch continues without pause, even through the hours people are asleep.
