Always Near

July 01, 2026

“Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near;” Isaiah 55:6 (ESV)

Every day we need to seek The Lord. There is not a thing we go through or could possibly go through where we do not need to seek The Lord. When things are going our way, we need to seek The Lord, and when things are not going our way we need to seek The Lord. There is not a time when The Lord is not near to us, every day He is right by our side walking and talking with us. The Lord is there for us, we must remember He is there. The Lord never hides from us, He always make sure He can be found by us when we seek Him. The Scripture reminds us we must seek the Lord while He may be found and call upon Him while He is near. I encourage you today to seek The Lord, always and in all things. Seek The Lord early in the morning, that He might give you direction for your day. Seek Him when the sun is shining in your life and seek The Lord when the rain begins to fall, and you cannot see your way, and allow Him to direct your path. There is not a time in your life when you should not seek The Lord. Not only should you seek Him but also call on Him every chance you have. Call Him when you need Him and call Him just to thank Him for all the great and wonderful things He has done in your life. Call on The Lord while He is right there with you. Whatever life throws at you, remember to seek The Lord and call on Him, and let The Lord direct you and keep you through it all. No matter what comes or what goes in my life I know for sure I will seek The Lord and call on Him because He is near to me. Since I will seek Him and call Him every day of my life, I have no doubt, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, thank you for always being near to me. Thank you for always being there when I call. Thank you for never being hard to find. Thank you for walking with me through life and keeping me through it all. Thank you for always being there for me. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
