“The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” (Psalms 145:1) The Lord is near to all who call on him means God is accessible and attentive to those who seek Him. Think about it, how can God be near you if you do not have a relationship with Him? If you do not want a relationship with Him, there is no relationship. I was at a party. I walked up to a woman whom I hadn’t seen in a while and said, “Hi how are you?” She turned her back on me. I walked away. There is no way I could have visited with her, for she did not want it. This holds true for God too. If we do not want a relationship with God—God can’t have a relationship with us. For how can you have a relationship with someone who does not want it? See, God never gives up on us. God never leaves us. God is with us in all situations and circumstances. The problem is when we do not acknowledge God. When we avoid God. When we turn our backs on God. We give up on God because of feeling angry after a situation that didn’t go the way we wanted it too; a desire to do what we want to do, not what God calls us to do; disillusionment with religion; hypocrisy, or a lack of satisfactory answers to our spiritual questions. We forget that God is not a magical God to fix all our problems. God is a God of all things and is with us in all things. So, when we hear that the Lord is near to all who call on Him. This is true. God is there—waiting. All you have to do is call upon Him. God Bless. Amen.
