Psalm 14: His Presence gives me confidence

Ps 14:5(b)
"There they (evildoers) are, overwhelmed with dread,
for God is present in the company of the righteous."

Emmanuel - God is with us. God is present... what a thought of confidence and blessing... that God is in our midst. It shows us that evildoers feel overwhelmed... a sure sign of feeling God-deserted. They look at those assured by God's presence and it strips them of their own confidence.

God is with the righteous. He loves righteousness - and those who's walk is righteous; He'll reveal himself to them. They will feel the assurance of His presence.

God - You are my righteousness. Help me to walk in righteousness. You are my God - the God living in me... Emmanuel.
