DRAWING NEAR TO GOD
Do you “draw near to God” every morning? Do you take a moment to lift your eyes above your circumstances to contemplate His holiness, to read His Word, to seek His direction, and to receive a fresh filling of His Spirit? Drawing near to God, we put our “trust” in Him and we fill our mouths with His praise, so that we “declare” His works all day long. Or do you attempt to live life on your own, depending on your own strength and wisdom? Why not join the psalmist and every believer throughout the ages who has discovered this secret of living: “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8).
PRAYER: Dear Father, we draw near to You today. We praise Your holy name and lift up our souls to You. Help us to see from Your perspective. Strengthen us to live by Your power. Lead us by Your Spirit. In Jesus’ name, amen.
