Our Scripture reading today is Psalm 145:18, "The LORD is nigh unto all them that
call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth."
The child of God has the privilege of communicating at any time with the
Creator God. We can have entry into the presence of God through the Son
of God. Jesus Christ's merit gives us the key to the throne room of God.
There is no other way to bring our petitions to God. Christ and Christ alone
makes it possible for a sinner to be saved and made clean. “…because there is a counterfeit
and false sort of worshipping, and calling upon God, which is debarred from the benefit
of this promise.” (Dickson, cited in Spurgeon)
