https://youtu.be/pMqr0U68MZA?si=5UoTaiqMcOAdyw3v Is not that God us far from us but we have taking a road that made us very,very far away from God.
God is always near us, he never was so far from us. But we have gone so far from him in our thoughts, in our ways, in our attitude, in our characters, our likes and our inklings in life we have ran too far from God. Malachi 3 verse 7 says,Even from the days of your father's ye are gone away from mine ordinances,and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the lord of hosts. But ye said, wherein shall we return? It is the question that people who do not understand God's will. Wherein shall we return they say. How far have we Gone? The lord said even from the days of your father's you have gone away from mine ordinances. So, going away along the road,you will find signs that tell you to detour. People have detoured from the way that was prepared by the lord. "Mine ordinances" he said. You have gone away from mine ordinances and have not kept them.
How do we return to the lord?we have to return to the ordinances wherein we have gone so far away from God, returning to the reproofs of God, returning to the ways of God, returning to the ordinances of God is returning to God. So, why does he seem so far away from our prayers, from our requests,from our petitions and from our likes? It is because we have gone so far and not him. He's not so far away from anybody, we are so far away from him because we have gone astray, we have had a detour. There so many detour that we have made in our lives, but if we travel the road of life that is destined to us by God,I believe there will be no regrets if we have done it God's way.
God is no far from us, we have taking a road that made us far away from God. To be near him and to find him in our daily lives,let us go back to his ordinances because God lament in that verse( malachi 3 verse 7). Let us return to his ordinances and we wil find a ever compassionate loving God who is always ready to hear our prayers.
