Draw Near to God

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you - James 4:8.

                                Moses longed for God and His presence. He said to God that he cannot lead the people of Israel unless the presence of God comes with him. He also asked God to show His glory. Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face - Deuteronomy 34:10. God spoke with Moses face to face as a man speaks to his friend. So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend - Exodus 33:11.

                                 The Lord is near to everyone who prays to him, to every faithful person who prays to him - Psalm 145:8. When we draw near to God in prayer, He will be near to us. He will show us great and mighty things which we never know. He will show you things to come - John 16:13. God will carry us close to His heart and will guide us like a shepherd when we are near to Him. He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young - Isaiah 40:11.

                               With a true heart and full assurance of faith, let us seek God and draw near to Him. Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith - Hebrews 10:22. He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him - Hebrews 11:6. Seek God and give priority to spend time with Him  every day. When we draw close to God, we can hear His voice clearly and walk according to it. As we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us.

                                                           

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to draw near to You every day. Let us seek You diligently with true heart and full assurance of faith. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
