My God is near and far

Today’s Scripture: “I am a God who is near. I am also a God who is far away,” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 23:23 GWT

 

The scope of God is beyond our comprehension. He said, “I am a God who is near. I am also a God who is far away,”

 

God is right where we are today AND He is also the Almighty God of Heaven. Like these days of Jeremiah we must accept God’s truths over what man understands or professes.

 

What a wonderful mystery to have the closeness of God while trusting in His omniscience and omnipotence. God is intimately involved with all we think and do and yet He is God over all.

 

Although I can not comprehend the majesty of God I can choose to trust Him and His Word over my limited sight and the limitations of those who try to define God’s place. I am embarrassed that God is so near at times yet I am thankful for His all surpassing power and love.

 

Will you accept that God is near and far?

 

Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for being near and far. Thank You for asking this question of us to remind us where and who You are. LORD of Heaven who dwells in my heart I love You and trust You over myself and others. LORD direct me today both near and far. Amen.
