Do you feel close to God? Would you say that you have an intimate relationship with Him? My brothers and sisters in Christ, God is daily extending an invitation to us, He is begging us to trust Him. Why do we harden our hearts?
“Have you a heart that’s weary, tending a load of care? Are you a soul that’s seeking rest, from the burden you bear? Do you know my Jesus? Do you know my friend? Have you heard he loves you, and that he will abide till the end? Who knows your disappointments, who hears each time you cry? Who understands your heartaches, who dries the tears from your eyes? Do you know my Jesus? Do you know my friend? Have you heard he loves you, and that he will abide till the end?
Because he is bound to me in love, therefore I will deliver him, I will protect him because he knows my name. Psalm 96:14-15
If we then understand the promised of God, why are we not more trusting of him? The Lord is faithful, he does not change like we do, and whatever promises he has made to us, he will keep; but we must be faithful to him. We are reminded in Psalm 96, that, if we are bound to him, that he will deliver us, that he will protect us, and that because we know his name, we shall call upon him and he will answer.
