DRAW NEAR TO GOD


James 4:8-9

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.

Personal Challenge

We need God to be the center of our lives. No matter what is going on around us, whatever the pressures of life that are bearing down on us or pushes us to consider doing, we need to seek God for His guidance and mercy. This means that we cleanse ourselves of our sins through repentance, working diligently to purify our hearts, and to stop being double-minded with one foot in the heavenly realm and one here in this earthly realm. We must lament and mourn when we sin and turn to God, drawing near to Him. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
