Word from God’s Word-Near
JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Near.
In the Bible, this word can have various meanings. One of those meanings has to do with a close relationship with God.
In Psalm 73:28, Asaph wrote, “As for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge. I will tell of all your deeds.”
The closer we are to God, the more clearly we will hear Him, the more vividly we will be in tune with His will, and the more passionately we will praise Him with our heart. God is moved by the person who seeks after His heart.
James 5:7 and 8 reveals what happens when we draw near to God, “Submit yourselves, then to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you.”
Discover how the word “Near” can have an impact on your life in the Year of God’s Word.
