THE WORD – “Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you…” James 4:8
When our thoughts and our hearts reflect upon the Lord, we began to “draw nigh to God” and He responds, waiting patiently for our attention. We tend to forget that the Lord desires our time, our conversation, our devotion solely unto Himself. I love how He slips in at unexpected times when our thoughts turn towards Him. In the car. Taking a walk. Hanging clothes on a clothesline.
This week I sat down at the piano to go over some simple choruses and hymns, trying to discipline myself once again in music practice. Yet the practice very quickly turned into a worship session with tears, praise and thankfulness for all God has done in my life. Jesus slipped into the room with His gentle presence as my fingers played out the songs of salvation.
God is good. And faithful. A mighty God who understands our frailty.
Remember, in the busyness of your week, to draw nigh to God.
He is waiting to draw nigh to you.
Amazing that He loves to spend time with me. ME!! That fills me with joy.

Oh, yes, He is good all the time, just when we need it. Glad you rejoiced in Him this day.

My daughter and her family live about three hours from me. I use that drive time to do some serious thinking and talking to God. It’s amazing how sweet His presence is durng that time. Yes, I spend time with Him at home, but there’s just something extra special about being in the car alone with Him. 🙂

Anita,
I agree. Many times I’ll be driving home from work and wiping tears away as I feel the sweet presence of Jesus. I love to sing old choruses and worship while driving… at least on quiet roads with little traffic!
