God Shot

God is a generous Father who gives wisdom to those who seek it (2:6) and guards the paths of the just (2:8). He delights in drawing near to those who trust Him (3:5–6), making their paths straight. He’s not distant or passive—He is actively shaping, correcting, and protecting those He loves.
