The LORD is near to all who call upon Him,It's an interesting distinction here, between the two lines. It's not just enough to call upon God. You have to call upon Him in truth. What does that phrase mean, "in truth?" Is it that you truly have to be calling upon Him? Or is it that you have to be calling upon Him truthfully, not just for show? Or something else?
To all who call upon Him in truth.
Whichever it is, the promise is a powerful one. We (including me) often think of God as out there, somewhere. He knows what's happening, but I'm not important enough for Him to bother with. But this says that's a lie, that He does care, and He will be there with us when we need Him.
