Drawing Closer to God

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.

God wants us to get personal with Him!

He wants us to draw near to Him and learn of Him. He wants us to press in to Him and build that one-on-one relationship with Him and take it to new heights. He wants to walk hand in hand with us!

He wants us to make our needs known to Him and trust Him with them, to supply us with what we need.

As believers, most of us are guilty, at one time or another, of bringing our needs to our pastors, our friends, our family and others. And sometimes we might even pray and ask God for help.

But then we just leave it there and never wait or listen to see what God wants us to do next. For some reason we think that once we bring it to God (or whoever else), that we can just forget about it and move on to other things. We rarely consider the fact that God may require us to take steps in order to bring the victory we’re asking for.

God is faithful to show us what we need to do. Sometimes we won’t need to do anything. But, more often than not, God will give us steps to take to carry out His plan. We need to be diligent to listen and then obey and follow His leading.

Living by faith is exciting! We can learn to live in anticipation of what God will do for us next. And we will never look back. We will never miss the days when we wished we could have the faith to see God move.

Now we can see Him move on our behalf each and every day, knowing that He is faithful and that His promises are true. And our lives will never be the same again.

Trust Him. Draw near to Him. Press in to Him. And watch your faith grow like never before.

Walking Close to God

Psalm 61:3-4 (NKJV) 3 For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy. 4 I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings.

The best way to have a personal walk with God is to open up and tell Him what is going on in your personal life, in detail. Keep Him up to date, so to speak, letting Him in on whatever changes are happening, and asking Him for advice.

Some people are very sincere in their love for God, but they have not yet discovered how to let Him help them in their personal, everyday walk.

He doesn’t just want to be around when there are problems. He doesn’t want to wait until major things are happening and we can’t find an answer to solve them ourselves. He wants us to walk with Him even before there are situations that arise.

For example, we may think we are bothering God if we go to Him with our requests or just to share everyday things with Him. Or we may think our situation is not drastic enough to go to Him for answers. We may think we have to wait until we go to church to speak to Him. We might even think that when we are in church God can hear us better.

This is not the case!

The more open and honest we are with God, the more personal He can be with us on a daily basis.

Take some time and make your life known to Him, including the littlest details. Spill it out and get free from the things that are trying to keep us in bondage.
