Knowing God - The Lord is Near



Deut 4:7

 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?



The nation of Israel is declaring how God is so near to them and how He is in all things that they call upon him for.  Those of us who are Gentiles have been made His nation as well through Christ.  He is so near to us and He is in all things that we call upon him for.  What a great comfort to know that our God is in the very things that we call upon Him for.  He is in that situation that brings great pain to your heart.  He is in that health issue that has entered into your life demanding attention and inhibiting the life you desire to live.  He is in that inner struggle that you believe no one else sees.  He is in that confusion that you can’t seem to make sense of.  He is there before we call upon Him.  What a great and faithful friend we have in Him.  He is so near to us.  He is in the things that we call upon Him for.  We will not believe that He is far.  We will believe that He is near.
