God is near to us...

Jeremiah 23:23, 29 NKJV

“ Am I a God near at hand,” says the Lord , “And not a God afar off? “ Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord , “And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

Shalom! Day #205. Do you know that the Lord our God is as far as from our mind to our hearts? Let's pray. Father, thank You for always being with us, near to us. Although we stray away from You, but You remain faithful and is there always for us and You have fill into the space of our emptiness and loneliness. We thank You Lord. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

We often think that God is at somewhere far far away kingdom and He is very far from us. For the record, GOD IS NEAR TO US. We say God is far, but the fact is we are always going far from Him, not God. We stray away from Him. A Christian living is filled with excitement when you realize the truth that God is with you, He works together with you, He mingles together with you, He works out unspeakable,  unthinkable miracles for you. But we often do say, I FEEL SO BORING, OR I FEEL LONELY. Well then go ahead claiming that you are Mr and Mrs Lonely! People who calls themselves as Christians yet don't know the truth are the ones who will claim such claims, I AM BORING, I FEEL LONELY bla bla bla. Jesus promised,  I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU. Folks, you got to understand the reality of His promise.  Not just taking it for word, but to feel, experience and to live by it. Draw near to Him, and He shall draw near to you.

We need His word shut up in our bones, heart, spirit like the fire. Like a fire shut up in our bones, burning continuously.  We claim that we know the word, but we fail to exercise the word. The Word of God must be like a fire in us. Constantly burning. If we know the truth of His word, the reality of His Word shall set us free. Sometimes it takes a sledgehammer to hammer our heads, our thinking patterns,  our stubbornness, our pride,  our heart. The reason I say this, because the way we think is not the same as how God thinks about each one of us. We need to get aligned to His ways.  If He has released a promised,  for example, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU, well then we mut take it, feel it , experience it and live by it. How to do so? Well the answer is found in our relationship with Him. When your relationship with God is strong,  you will never feel the same, will never feel bored, will never be Mr and Mrs Lonely. The Word of God must be alive in us. We sometimes suffocate the truth of His word by not putting the word into action. His Word, like a fire shut up in our bones, let it burn...let it burn!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
