The Lord is Near

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).

New Living 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!

Song: Near to the Heart of God
Chorus:
O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of God.

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)
