Throughout the Bible, God's nearness is a source of comfort and strength. In the Old Testament, God's presence was symbolized by the Ark of the Covenant and the Tabernacle, where He dwelt among the Israelites (<a href="/exodus/25-8.htm">Exodus 25:8</a>). The nearness of God is also a recurring theme in the Psalms, where the psalmists often express their reliance on God's proximity in times of trouble (<a href="/psalms/34-18.htm">Psalm 34:18</a>). In the New Testament, the incarnation of Jesus Christ is the ultimate expression of God's nearness, as He took on human form to dwell among us (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>). This phrase reassures believers of God's constant presence and His readiness to help.<p><b>and all Your commandments are true</b><br>This part of the verse affirms the reliability and truthfulness of God's commandments. In the context of <a href="/psalms/119.htm">Psalm 119</a>, which is an acrostic poem dedicated to the beauty and perfection of God's law, this statement underscores the psalmist's deep reverence for divine instruction. The commandments, or Torah, were given to the Israelites as a guide for righteous living and were seen as a reflection of God's character (<a href="/deuteronomy/4-8.htm">Deuteronomy 4:8</a>). The truth of God's commandments is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus affirms the enduring validity of the law (<a href="/matthew/5-18.htm">Matthew 5:18</a>) and fulfills it through His life and teachings (<a href="/matthew/5-17.htm">Matthew 5:17</a>). This phrase highlights the unchanging nature of God's word and its foundational role in guiding believers in truth and righteousness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/119.htm">Psalm 119</a>, traditionally believed to be King David, who expresses a deep love and reverence for God's law.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal presence and faithfulness to His people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_commandments.htm">The Commandments</a></b><br>Refers to God's laws, statutes, and decrees given to guide His people in righteousness.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_nearness.htm">God's Nearness</a></b><br>Recognize that God is always near to those who seek Him.
