NEARNESS THROUGH FAITH
Psalms 145:18 (144:18 LXX)
The Lord is near to all who call on Him,
To all who call upon Him in truth.
Encouraging Words
So, the Psalmist promises us that the Lord is near to those who call upon Him. That is good news, especially in times of need. But, there is a little caveat here. We need to seek upon Him in truth. What does that mean? The original text would have used faith rather than truth. We must call upon God with a spirit of faith if we want Him to be near us, or better yet if we want our eyes and minds to be opened to seeing Him since He is always near to us. This is why Jesus could say to so many that He healed, "Your faith has made you whole." Glory be to God!
