FAITH CAPSULE: God is never far but near to all, while the majority are far from Him. 

Psalm 145

Keeping testimonies and meditating will keep one near to God.
TESTIMONIES OF GOD
A man with the understanding and knowledge of the testimonies of God is near to God.
Psalm 119:1-6 buttressed what it means to walk and keep testimonies of God, “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord! 
Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!
They also do no iniquity; They walk in His ways.
You have commanded us to keep Your precepts diligently.
Oh, that my ways were directed to keep Your statutes!
Then I would not be ashamed When I look into all Your commandments.”
Keep the testimonies of God by walking by His word.
The blessings of God are for those near to God and know to fear Him.
Do you fear God?
If you are one with the fear of God, you are obedient to Him and near to claim his promises.
With understanding, know to fear God the will for all man as Deuteronomy 6:24-25 states, “And the Lord commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is this day. Then it will be righteousness for us if we are careful to observe all these commandments before the Lord our God, as He has commanded us.”
To fear God, keep His testimonies, to walk by His word.  
MEDITATING THE WORD OF GOD 
The word of God is God. 
Meditating the word of God is communicating with God continually.
God did not hide the secret of meditation when He spoke to Joshua, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:8-9) 
Of all several means of communicating with God to keep one near His presence is meditating His word day and night.
A true believer should desire to be near God.
King David testifies identities of God, “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. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them. The Lord preserved all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy.” (Psalm 145:17-20) 
The word of God is proven.
The word of God is perfect to all who will give themselves to meditating His word to gain and retain position near Him day and night.

Prayer for today: Ask God to take charge of your life to be near Him.
