When I was a little girl, Grover was my favorite Sesame street character- still is, in fact. And one of my favorite skits was the famous “near and far” sketch. Check it out.
I find it can also applies to us; we are wondering where in the world God is in our lives. Is He near? Is He far away?
It’s important not to get our feelings confused with God’s Truth. We may feel one way, for instance, abandoned. But God’s Truth is quite clear about His proximity to us:
The LORD is near to all them that call on him, to all that call on him in truth.
Psalm 145:18
The LORD is near to them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit.
Psalm 34:18
Just like this skit here, we may be huffing, puffing, exhausting ourselves, trying to figure God out when He’s close to us the entire time.
Are you tired? Broken hearted? Desperate? Lonely? God is near, not far away from you. Call on Him for real today!
