James 4:8
Come near to God and he will come near to you.
This is a verse that I didn’t know existed until I randomly found it, and figured it was appropriate to write it in someone’s birthday card. And then later on the friend tells me it was the second time they read that verse, within the same day. Someone else shared that same verse with them.
It’s a great reminder, is it not, to come near to God. In some versions it’s draw near... get close to...
I was struggling to find something applicable for today, or wasn't able to find inspiration for verses worth devo-reflecting upon. Even looking at other verses, nothing came.
Until I remembered this verse.
And I think in times when you’re absent minded. Or you feel like you don’t know what’s going on. Or just downright distracted, I think whatever happens, you need to do one thing, and that’s to draw near, come near, get close to God. And by default He’ll do the same.
It’s not like we can develop a relationship with someone, or anyone, even God, from a distance.
We have to physically, spiritually and mentally be closer in distance... in order to develop intimacy.
We need to approach Him daily, on a regular basis, in the name of Jesus, in faith and in prayer.
So when you’re stuck. Or if you’re clueless, or if you’re you’re feeling meh.... just come near to God.
I’ll end here and that’ll be my little contribution to this blog for the day. After feeling a bit meh. Time to go near to God.
Come near to God and he will come near to you.
