Just A Thought: Draw Near To God!

James 4:7-10  "Submit yourselves therefore to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.  Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.   Be wretched and mourn and weep . Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.  Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you."


Why is it that some believers seem to go much deeper in their walk with God than others?  I believe it has to do with a desire to pursue God and not to stop until they feel His very presence in their lives. These believers decide not to settle for anything less than a growing, vibrant relationship with God, and God honors that desire for those who seek it.
Much of our walk is determined by how we desire Him.  In this passage in James, the Lord promises that if you draw near to Him - He will draw near to you.  Our enemy, Satan, uses everything in his power to prevent that vibrant relationship from forming - but press through - press on - because God wants this relationship very much.
I want more! Can you say that - are you saying that?  God's heart and mind are infinitely deep and there's nothing more precious than knowing Him better and better.  So I'm pushing through every obstacle to really show Him how much He means to me.

Come on church - let's do it together.
