Tozer: God nearer than our thoughts

Tuesday, June 9, 2026
    Feast of Columba, Abbot of Iona, Missionary, 597
    Commemoration of Ephrem of Syria, Deacon, Hymnographer, Teacher, 373
Meditation:
    They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
    —Psalm 119:150-151 (KJV)
Quotation:
    We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.
    ... A. W. Tozer (1897-1963), The Pursuit of God [1948], Christian Publications, 1982, p. 62 (see the book)
