Psalm 145:17–18: The Lord is righteous in all His ways, gracious in all His works. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
Whoever you are and wherever you are, if you mean business with God, you can come into His presence through Christ. “The Lord is nigh [He is near] unto all them that call upon him.” There are many folk who are stiff–arming God. That is one reason. If you have trusted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you have direct access to God. If you are unsaved, God invites you to come to Him for salvation. God is available. 1
