"'Am I a God who is near,' declares the Lord, 'and not a God far off? Can a man hide himself in hiding places so I do not see him?' declares the Lord. 'Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?' declares the Lord." -Jeremiah 23:23-24 (NASB)
Have you ever felt alone or abandoned? There may be times when we feel this way. Maybe we feel despair or we look around and see despair in others. During these times we might feel that God is distant, but nothing could be further from the truth!
We are reminded in Jeremiah (23:23-24) that God fills the heavens and the earth. He is always surrounding us and near us. We cannot hide from Him. He is always near, so why would we feel that He is distant?
Sometimes we move away from God and His plan for us. Our choices may isolate us from His holiness, but the good news is that God is constant, loving, and ready to respond to our requests. When we feel alone, we just need to seek Him and allow Him to comfort and accompany us throughout our journey.
Feeling alone? You don't have far to turn. God is a true and constant friend!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being a constant in my life. Help me to know Your plan for me and to follow Your plan. When I feel lonely or down, show me Your love and comfort me. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
