God is always near

Have you ever felt on the edge? God is near.

Greetings:
With all of the means of quick communication that each of us have at our fingertips –– cell phone, telephone, email, text message, Internet, iPad, FaceTime, Skype, Messenger,  or Facebook –– I am reminded about the importance of communicating with God.
Many of us are busy doing 'other things' and seem to find it difficult to find time to communicate, pray or listen to God.
Don't you wish it was as easy and hitting the speed dial button on your smart phone and God would simply answer?
The fact is, it is that easy.
What are the tools that we need to communicate with God?
We can make time no matter how busy we are to give God his time in our life.
We can read his Word – The Holy Bible – and let the scriptures speak to each of us.
We can also allow God to speak to us through other people who are close to us – your spouse, your pastor, your church family, or your friends.
God is always near as it says in Psalm 145:18-19, “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.”
The entire Psalm 145 is a beautiful piece of writing and a tribute to God 's dominion over our lives, if we allow him to come close to us.
The psalm, written by King David talks about God's  “works”,  his  “mighty deeds”, his “wondrous works”, his“awesome deeds”, his “majesty”, “glorious splendor”  and his “greatness”.
Reading the Psalm, we learn that God is never too busy.
God can hear us and come close.
God is our king and also our companion.
When we truly understand God’s greatness, how amazing God truly is – especially as it relates to his mercy and care for us – how can we not lift God up in praise “forever and ever”?
If we are not praising God, it is simply because we do not understand who God is. We haven’t got it yet.
