Psalm 145:18

Near or Far? Here’s the Answer

12/15/2024

Jesus told His disciples He was going to die and ascend to His Father in heaven but that He would not leave them as orphans (John 14:16-18). 

Jesus explained that He would send a Helper to them and that the Helper would not only be with them, but also in them. 

Did you catch that? “In” them? 

You can’t get closer to someone than to be in them. 

That is God’s gift to believers. Christ’s Holy Spirit is in you. Not far away. Near. In. 

Still not convinced? Read what Psalm 145:18 says: “The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.”

God is in you, believer. Near as near can be to you. Call on God in sincerity and truth. 

Lord, You are NEAR, not far removed from me. You are so near, You are in me through Your indwelling Holy Spirit. Thank You that I can call on You in sincerity and truth.

A New Day to LISTEN UP

05/01/2017

I'd had it with myself. Since January 1, I'd said every day I was going to start a diet. I guess that was my problem. I said I was going to start my diet. I should have said I was going to finish my diet. Because all I've done since January is start it and not end my day well.

NEAR

04/01/2013

“The LORD is near to all who call on Him, To all who call on Him in truth.” 

Psalm 145:18

Near? Jesus told His disciples He was going to die, would return, would go to His Father in heaven, but would NOT leave them as orphans. Rather, He explained He would send a Helper to be with them, and not only with them, but in them – the Holy Spirit. Near. You can’t get much closer than to have God’s Spirit abiding within you.  Near. Not far removed. Not inaccessible. Rather, accessible – all the time. Call on God in sincerity and truth. He’s near. Call. 

LORD, You are NEAR, not far removed. Thank You! I praise You!
