February 11, 2014 - The
Lord is Near – Bread Card Box by Dorothy Callies
Psalm 145:18a “The
Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him” (kjv).
When we call upon God
with our sincere heart, we can be sure that our God is near. He will hear our
prayer, fulfill our desire for help and work for our deliverance. How do I know
that? Ps. 145:19 said, “He will fulfill the desire of them that fear Him: He
also will hear their cry, and will save them. The Lord will preserveth all them
that love Him …” (kjv).

Translation on Psalm 145:
18The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes,
to all who call on him sincerely. 19He fulfills the desires of those
who fear him; he hears their cries for help and rescues them. 20The Lord protects all those who love him, but
he destroys the wicked. 21 I will praise the Lord, and everyone on earth will bless
his holy name forever and forever.
Let us be
encouraged that God is still on the throne, and He hears us when we call on
Him. So let us trust our God today! We are near to the heart of God!

O Jesus, blest
Redeemer,
Sent from the heart
of God,
Hold us who wait

1. There is a place
of quiet rest
Near to the heart of God,
A place where sin can-not molest,
Near to the heart of God, (Next Chorus)
2. There is a place
of comfort sweet
Near to the heart of God,
A place where we our Savior meet,
Near to the heart of God. (Next chorus)
3. There is a place
of full release
Near to the heart of God.
A place where all is joy and peace,
Near to the heart of God. (Next chorus)
