“SALVATION IS FAR FROM THE WICKED: FOR THEY DO NOT SEEK YOUR STATUTES” PSALM 119:155

It’s been said, and is true that God is only a prayer away; as close as your next breath, but if a man is unconcerned with finding God He might as well be a thousand miles away.

If my car keys are on the counter, but I am busy eating or drinking or watching television, those keys might as well be in another state. Unless I look for them, I will never find them.

Some men are content with being “seekers of the truth”; they are content with the process of seeking, but until they decide that they desire to acknowledge the truth once it’s found, they will forever be seekers.

Salvation is far from the wicked because they don’t care about God or the laws of God. They are content to carry on in their wickedness, refusing to even acknowledge God’s existence.
Sadly, righteousness is far from some believers; for while they profess to love God, they are not concerned with being in right standing with Him. They may claim His name and even say, “I love the Lord!”, but Jesus said, “IF YOU LOVE ME YOU WILL KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS”. Righteousness is as far from these professed believers as salvation is from the wicked, because neither desires to acknowledge the laws of God.

The old song lyric has been playing in my spirit for weeks now; “THERE ARE NONE SO BLIND AS HE WHO WILL NOT SEE!”

You can say you want to grow in God, but until you are ready to acknowledge that His ways are higher than your own, you are only playing church and church never saved anyone. You can claim to be God’s friend, but a friend is one who will lay down his life for another and unless you are willing to acknowledge your need to change in order to be like Him, you are only deceiving yourself.

Any man who is content where he is will go no further. Amen.
