“Am I a God at hand, declares the Lord, and not a God far away?” Jeremiah 23:23
This was my Bible verse today on my Bible app. I found it to be a perfect verse.
I am guilty of believing that He is a God far away. There are more times that I think He isn’t near, that He doesn’t see or hear, than there are times that I believe He is close by. There are times that I cry and weep thinking He has forgotten me. There are times when I am angry with Him and I yell at Him. Yup, I yell at God. I think I am a pretty calm person, rational most of the time, but I can become an emotional mess when my heart is hurting and I feel He is far away.
There are many promises in His Word, many verses that tell us what He does and who He is. This one says exactly what I need to hear in those crazed, tantrum moments. He is a God at hand. He is a God who sees what is happening because He is with me. He is a God who hears because He is right there. This makes me smile. This gives me hope. He is a God at hand!
