1 That we do draw nigh to God in holy duties, see Jam. 4.8. Draw nigh to God (so that you may be nearer God than you were) that is by holy Services, & holy duties, & hence it is in Psa. 95.2. Let us (saith he) come before his presence with thanksgiving, so that there is a more peculiar coming before Gods presence when we come to Worship him than at other times: And v. 6 O come let us Worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our maker. So in Psal. 1 0. 2. Let us come before his presence with singing, for that's one part of the Worship of God. But the Scripture is plain, that there is a special coming before God when we are coming ⟨p. 27⟩to Worship him, and in this respect the Servants of God in Psal. 148.14. are said to be a people near to God. It is a very remarkable expression and sets forth much the honour of the Saints of God: There's the commendation of the excellent estate of the Saints. He also exalteth the born of his people, the praise of all his Saints even the children of Israel, a people near unto him. The Saints of God, the Children of Israel, the Church of God are said to be a people near to God; Why near him? Because that they Worship God, they are much exercised in the Worship of God. This is one respect though there may be divers others mentioned, yet in respect of their coming so much before God in his Worship, therefore they are near God.
