You know who you can count on in times of trouble. There is someone for every emergency you may face, and you make sure you remember how to contact them. We are prepared for every situation. So much so that you have most likely raised your children with these emergency contacts in mind. You are sure to let them know that they should know where to turn when danger strikes. 

On the other hand, we often forget that there is Someone who makes Himself available to us each moment of every day. He is not far or a phone call away. On the contrary, a simple thought can turn His eyes toward you. 

“Seek the Lord while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.”
Isaiah 55:6

God is near to you today. There, where you are seated, at work, at school, as you wait in the doctor’s office for your results, no matter where you are now. When you seek Him, He answers. Maybe you have been waiting to make the right prayer with the most beautiful words, but He is not looking for that. Your words, as simple as they may be, only need to be sincere. Talk to God. He is closer than you think.

May the God of the Bible bless you!

Bishop Bira Joshua
