“Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he has done for my soul. I cried out to him with my mouth, and he was exalted with my tongue. If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have heard me. But God certainly heard me; he attended to the voice of my plea. Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer or withdraw his mercy from me.” (Psalms 66:16-20)

For his mercies are:

“They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, my soul said; therefore I will hope in him. The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him.” (Lamentations 3:23-25)

You could experience this and much more… Do not leave it until tomorrow… Begin today to:

“Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.” (Isaiah 55:6)

Do not let this pass you by or ignore it. If you are thirsty, see this: “To all who are thirsty: Come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.” (Isaiah 55:1 If you are weak:

“Forge swords from your plowshares and spears from your pruning hooks; let the weak say: I am strong.” (Joel 3:10)

And when you find yourself in circumstances where you do not know what to do:

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let them ask God, who gives generously to everyone without reproach, and it will be given to them.” (James 1:5)

Draw near:

“so that they might seek God and perhaps, by reaching out, find him, though he is certainly not far from any one of us.” (Acts 17:27)

He is not far away as you have been told… He simply desires:

“…that you may prosper in all things and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.” (3 John 1:2)
