Acts 17:27 says, "He is not far from each of us." A little boy and his sister were playing outside. The boy said something ugly to his sister. She said, "God hears what you say." The boy said, "No, God didn’t hear me He is to far away." That’s how many people think of God. So, we rely upon our own strength and wisdom when things run smoothly. But in life things do not always go along smoothly. When such times come it doesn’t matter how self-reliant we have been we realize that our strength and wisdom are not enough. Having placed God "way off" from us we may feel He is too far away to call on for Help. To avoid this, we have to cultivate a sense of God’s nearness and live every day in His presence.
