Drawing Near to God

Come near to God and he will come near to you… —James 4:8

Live It Out

This is great news! You see, Satan wants to be a roadblock between you and God. He will say and do whatever it takes to keep you from having a vibrant relationship with the Lord. This is why you have to resist Satan. Make him flee so you can draw near to God. God wants to be as near to you as possible. Will you draw near to Him? It’s a direct path. You don’t have to cut any corners. It’s not a maze you have to find your way through. God wants you to just come near and He will be right there to come near to you.

Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.—James 4:8

God desires our submission, He wants us to resist the devil so we can draw near to Him. Then comes this part of scripture that reminds us we struggle daily with sin. We can never take sin lightly. We must stay on guard and wash our hands of the sin that creeps into our lives. We must purify our hearts before the Lord daily. God doesn’t want us to say we desire to live for Him then turn around and live for the world. He wants all or nothing. Choose to give Him your all today!

Let us then approach the throne of grace with con- fidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.—Hebrews 4:16

Pray It Through

Dear Father God, I submit my life to You. I continue to resist the devil and all his schemes. May I draw near to You daily and enjoy the nearness of You in my life. Please help me to see if there is anything unclean in my heart and help me to purify myself before You. Thank You that I can approach Your throne of grace with confidence and experience the full measure of Your mercy on a daily basis!

We are not only to renounce evil, but to manifest the truth. We tell people the world is vain; let our lives manifest that it is so. We tell them that our home is above and that all these things are transitory. Does our dwelling look like it? O to live consistent lives!—James Hudson Taylor

Time for Pruning

John 15.5

This week leading up to Easter I would like to share some devotionals with you from my new book Praying through the Gospels.  I have included some links at the end of the devotion, if you would like to order the book.  Praying through the Gospels is pretty simple.  It’s just a small reflection in prayer on different aspects from the Gospels and what Jesus did for us.  Hope you enjoy this week of devotionals!

Pruning Time (Day 21)

I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.  He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.  (John 15:1–2)

Lord, please prune any part of me that is not bearing fruit for you. May the transforming life of Christ pulsate through my very being as I cling to the nutrients found in the source of life.

Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine.  Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.  (John 15:4)

Lord, I want to abide in you. I want to find nourishment for my soul in the life-giving nutrients that flow from your being. May the sap of the Holy Spirit flow freely through me, and may I bear fruit for you!

I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.  (John 15:5)

I can’t do anything without you, Lord! It’s so important for me to steal away as many moments as I can with you throughout my day. I know that nothing in my life will be well done without the power that comes from waiting on you and seeking your purpose through it.

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.  (John 15:7)

Lord, today I feast upon the truth I find in your word.  May your words be stitched into the very fiber of my being that I may live out my days for your purpose. Lord, today is yours. May I live it out in a way that honors you alone!

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. (1 Corinthians 9:24)

The Lord is my Light

1 The Lord is my Light and my Salvation—whom shall I fear or dread?  The Lord is the Refuge and  Stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
