Where is He?

Day 305- Where is He?

The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him sincerely and in truth. He will fulfill the desires of those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him; He also will hear their cry and will save them. Psalm 145:18-19 AMP

Let it be fully understood that ALL of God's promises are qualified. His promises are for everyone, yet are really for all who come to him on his own terms, not at their own pleasure.  No matter what anyone says, there is a true Lord who has promised to draw close to all who call upon Him in truth, not out of selfish desires. You may have pressing needs or you may have scores to settle. God does not help you settle scores, neither does he help you get even. It is my responsibility to go reconcile with my neighbour before I come seeking God.

The desires of all those that reverently fear Him are also fulfilled. He also promises to hear them and save them. It is important to point out here that the promise is made by God on his terms, not on ours. What this tells me is that God decides how, when and where he will answer. He may not do things the way we expect but maturity in our walk with God requires that we walk with God as he walks and work with him as he works too. Our lives will be less stressful or complicated when God is at the centre of our desires, pursuits and labours.

Where does God fit into in your life schedule? Is he at the centre of all your plans and purposes, or you have found a convenient corner for him? Do you go to Him when all other viable options have been exhausted and there is nothing else to do and no one else to turn to? Is he your one and only option? Call on him on his own terms, in sincerity and in truth and in reverence, and watch him perform miracles on your behalf. His time of favour is here.
