“Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?” (Jeremiah 23: 23)

God is constantly announcing His presence and not His absence. He tells us always that He is near, at hand, not some elusive ideal to reach for, but the very Truth and Life and Love that are already ours to celebrate and to live. God, good, is the very essence of our own being, our very heart, and our faithful Life. We are never separate from this Life-force, this divine power and Love. It is as close as our own thoughts and our next breath.

Let’s realize this availability of God, the fact that He is always embracing us, speaking to us, protecting us, and loving us with sufficiency and substance. This Bible verse is His firm announcement:  “I AM not over there, either in yesterday, or tomorrow, in someone else’s place or received through someone else’s presence. I AM right here, right now, your own Life, Mind, and being. I AM with you always and this moment.”

Let us seek not by looking at what appears to be trouble, lack, the limits of matter. Instead, let us seek by claiming. Let us recognize and cherish and accept the God that is reality, is Truth, is goodness, is harmony, is the solid substance of what we already are and what we must ever remain—the ideal ideas of His own perfect Mind and the recipients of His ready, steady Love.
