Draw Near to God 🧑🧑🧒🧒
“Come near to God and He will come near to you.” — James 4:8
📚 Bible in a Year: Reading for the Day
Old Testament: Job 17–20
New Testament: James 4
💡 Devotional Thought:
Job experienced seasons when God seemed silent, yet he continued longing for God's presence. His perseverance teaches us that even when we cannot feel God, He remains faithful.
James invites believers to humble themselves and draw near to God. Intimacy with God grows as we seek Him through prayer, worship, repentance, and obedience. God never rejects those who sincerely come to Him with humble hearts.
A growing church continually pursues God's presence.
📝 Application:
Council & Pastoral: Lead the church into deeper intimacy with God.
Men & Ladies: Set aside intentional time to seek the Lord daily.
Youth & Children: Spend time talking with God and reading His Word.
🤔 Reflection:
What is keeping me from drawing closer to God?
💭 Take Away:
God welcomes every heart that sincerely seeks Him.
🙏 Prayer:
Father, draw us closer to You each day. Remove anything that hinders our relationship with You. Help us develop a deeper desire for Your presence, Your Word, and Your will. May our lives reflect a growing intimacy with You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
