Names of God: Elohay Mikarov

The following verses tell us that God is near to the brokenhearted, to those who call on him and those who come near to him.
Psalm 34:18  The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 145:18 The Lord is near to all who call on him.
James 4:8 Come near to God and he will come near to you.

We don't always feel near to God but the Bible says that he will never leave us. God is so close that he is living in us. 1 John 4:13 says, We know that we live in God and God lives in us. We know this because he gave us his Spirit. 

We come near to God by spending time reading the Bible and talking to him in prayer. 

​CHALLENGE: Do you feel close to God right now? If not, what are you going to do about it?
