"We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!
For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near."  Psalm 75:1

'Your name is near' and we know that the Name of the Lord our God is as He is.  Therefore, to say that His name is near is to say that He Himself is near.  Let us see what the Bible says of this divine nearness.  

"I have set the LORD always before me;
Because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken."
(See how the one who does this:)
"Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices;
My flesh also dwells secure."  Psalm 16:8-9

"The LORD is near to the brokenhearted,
And saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous;
But the LORD delivers him out of them all."  Psalm 34:18-19 

"The LORD is near to all who call on Him,
To all who call on Him in truth."
He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him; 
He also hears their cry and saves them.
The LORD preserves all who love Him..."  Psalm 145:18-20
(Read the whole Psalm and be blessed.)

Scripture speaks of God sheltering His people; His protecting shadow covers them:
The Psalmist knows there is safety in the LORD as he says,
"Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
For in You my soul takes refuge;
In the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge,
Till the storms of destruction pass by."  Psalm 57:1

"For You have been my help,
And in the shadow of Your wings I will sing for joy.
My soul clings to You;
Your right hand upholds me."  Psalm 63:7-8

"For You have been a stronghold for the poor,
A stronghold for the needy in his distress,
A shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat..."  Isaiah 25:4

"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 righteous right hand."  Isaiah 41:10

How can we not, but join with the Psalmist as he sings out in our opening verse;
We give praise and thanks to You,O God we praise and give thanks!  Yes, we give thanks to You Almighty God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit; to You, the only wise God be glory and honor forever.  Amen.
