Daily devotion – God desires our fellowship
Come near to God and He will come near to you – James 4:8
For most of us, life is no bed of roses. It’s not easy. Life presents us with too many distractions and the last thing we find time for is to be alone with God.
Children, work, television, the Internet, even at times Church business, drain away our time.
It could be time to make an adjustment to your priorities. It might mean having to say ‘no’ to certain activities or demands. Whatever it takes, make time to be alone with God.
We just don’t realise God desires our fellowship, and He has done everything possible to make it a reality. He has forgiven your sins, at the cost of His own dear Son. He has given you His Word, and the priceless privilege of prayer and worship.
God WILL come near to you, if you come near to Him!
Read again this precious verse from James – remember it was God who told James to put these words to pen.
Why? Because He meant them!
