Things that Intercept the Divine Presence
Psalm 16:8
I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.


There are three things that, taken together, build up for us a very thick triple wall between us and God. There is sense, and all that it reveals to us; there are duties, necessary, possibly blessed, but actually often disturbing and limiting; and the thickest and most opaque of the three screens, there are the sins which dim our capacity, and check our inclination of realising the Divine presence.

(A. Maclaren, D. D.)
