Aug 05.99: Light For The Day - "God isn't Far Away"

"Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed,
for I am your God; I will strengthen you,
I will help you, I will uphold you with my
victorious right hand."
-- Isaiah 41:10 (RSV)

----------------

God isn't far away;
He surrounds you
with His love ...
He's in every good thing
That touches you ...
In every step you make
And every breath you take.
He's not far away,
For He is with you always.
-- Nancye Sims

-----------------

"The LORD is my shepherd;
I have everything I need.
He lets me rest in the fields of green grass
and leads me to quiet pools of fresh water.
He gives me new strength.
He guides me in the right paths as He has promised.
Even if I go through the deepest darkness,
I will not be afraid, LORD,
for you are with me.
Your shepherd's rod and staff protect me.
...........
I know that your goodness and love will be
with me all my life;
And your house will be my home as long as I live."

-- Psalm 23 (TEV)
