How close are you to God? Did you know that you are as close to him as you want to be? That’s right. Scripture says in James chapter 4, draw near to God and he will draw near to you. So yeah, that means you and I are as close to God as we want to be. Any distance that exists in our relationship with him is completely on our part. So, draw close to him.
But what does drawing close to God look like? The Holy Spirit continues in James 4, saying that it looks like submitting to God and resisting the devil. It looks like putting your hands to the work of purity and giving your heart completely to God. It looks like loving what God loves and hating what God hates. It looks like humbling yourself before God so that he might exalt you.
Beloved, this is how you draw close to God. And as you do so, He wondrously promises to draw close to you. He won’t push you away or run away. Draw close to him, and he will draw close to you. And may you be closer to God than you’ve ever been.
Change begins in you!
