DOUBT=GOD IS ALWAYS NEAR

DOUBT=GOD IS ALWAYS NEAR Do you have DOUBTS About your relationship with God? If you do-JOIN the crowd We all do But don't doubt too much- God as ALWAYS near God is always close As close As our own heart “This great nation Is truly a wise And intelligent people” Deuteronomy 4:6 Although-sometimes- I wonder Particularly when I look At our presidential candidates And LISTEN to some Of the things That come out of their mouths But I KNOW- GOD IS NEAR Because-even though- I wonder about this great nation Of ours I still BELIEVE We live In this/the greatest nation In this world And if any country Is going to get it right I still believe it is us REMEMBER-God is near He LIVES in our own hearts “The Lord is CLOSE To the brokenhearted And SAVES those Who are Crushed in spirit” Psalm 34:18 “He tends his flock Like a shepherd He gathers the lambs In his arms And carries them CLOSE to his heart He gently leads those Who have young” Isaiah 40:11 The Israelites-we know Were NOT always shining examples Of trusting in God's love And America-itself-right now Is not such a shining example Of God's love We NEED to all- COME BACK to God Collectively and individually We need to LET GO Of our doubt in God For God is ALWAYS NEAR To us “If you believe- You will RECEIVE Whatever you ask for IN PRAYER” Matthew 21:22 “But when you ask- You must BELIEVE- And not doubt Because the one who doubts Is like a wave Of the sea Blown and tossed by the wind” No matter how tough things get KEEP THE FAITH For we never know WHEN the tides may turn We never know-WHEN- We might have A MIRACLE in store I admit SOMETIMES I lose hope too We are all HUMAN But we can't forget The times that God TURNED BLESSINGS in our life Out of nothing The many times GOD HAS RESCUED US And those we love He has the POWER To do it again In our country-and- IN OUR LIVES Don't doubt- GOD IS ALWAYS NEAR Dear Lord-LET IT BE- IN JESUS' NAME Robert P.
