Bible Verse of The Day – 9-3-21

Psalm 73:28 (NKJV) 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, That I may declare all Your works.

Today, as I was looking out into our back yard, I saw a shadow moving on the door casing right next to me. It wasn’t big, but as I looked up onto the glass in our back door, I saw that it was a very tiny bug that was casting its shadow.

The shadow of this bug was much bigger than the bug itself. This was caused by a distance between the light (the sun), the bug, and the object that the shadow was being cast upon (the door casing).

God immediately showed me that it is the same with us and Him.

If we stay close to God, we cast no shadow ourselves. We only reflect His light onto others.

But if we pull away from Him, we begin to cast a shadow that is shaped like us, not Him. And the further we get from Him, the bigger that shadow gets, looking more and more like us, and less like Him.

This is why it’s so important for us to stay so very close to Him.

In addition to keeping our relationship with Him strong, it also keeps us humble, causing us to want people to see Him, not us.

Being close to Him prevents shadows from forming that may draw attention to us. And it will keep us from looking bigger than Him, as shadows can do sometimes.

There is nothing better than being close to Him. Nothing.

So, we urge you to seek Him. Stay close to Him. Make Him your everything.

Because in the big scheme of things, nothing else matters.
