PROMISE #206 - JULY 25
Promise #206:
I am near to you whenever you cry out.
Deuteronomy 4:7 (WEB)
For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them,
as Yahweh our God is whenever we call on him?
In this Bible verse, the nation of Israel marvels that there is no other nation on the earth with a God so close to them that He is near whenever they cry out. What an advantage over every other country of the day!
They worshiped a God who was near and attentive to the cries of His people.
That was the Old Covenant relationship with God. In the New Covenant, God is even closer! He lives within those who have accepted the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. We are the temple of the living God, and He is closer to each of us than we could imagine.
My prayer today is that each one of us would be aware of the tangible presence dwelling within and that we would know that our God is close to us when we cry out to Him.
