18 THE LORD IS NEAR TO ALL WHO CALL ON HIM,
to all who call on him in truth. Psalm 145, David
Someone has said, ‘The Lord is only a prayer away’ and it’s true. We’re His children and we can come before Him whenever we choose. Many times David turned to the Lord when he was in distress. His psalms often began with his problems but usually ended in praise and thanksgiving. God doesn’t want His children burdened and stressed anymore than earthly parents, so if you’re in difficulty today call out to Him. He won’t ignore His children in a time of need.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures through all generations.
The Lord is FAITHFUL to all His promises
and LOVING towards all He has made.
14 The Lord UPHOLDS all who fall
and LIFTS UP all who are bowed down. Psalm 145
David knew what it was to fall and none of us are perfect. Religion is all about performance and keeping the Law, or we could say about self righteousness. Jesus removed the need for us to achieve righteousness on our own, He paid it all and it’s open for everyone. David kept looking to the Faithfulness and Love of God to help and rescue him from those who were too strong for him. God wants to help us in our struggles and He is far more able than we can ever be, so remember the first line we quoted from this psalm,
18 THE LORD IS NEAR TO ALL WHO CALL ON HIM,
to all who call on him in truth.
He’s waiting to hear your call, your voice today, He knows our voices individually. Call on Him today and believe that He will intervene on your behalf, however dire your circumstances might be.
59 Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save,
nor his ear too dull to hear. Isaiah 59:1
Many of the Lord’s people need encouraged at the present moment and David’s psalms are a wonderful place to go and find the Lord’s help. He lived his life and walked through many difficulties but he held onto God through them all. Hallelujah
6 This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them. Psalm 34
May the Lord bless and keep you today. Immanuel, God is with us.
