Draw near to God...

James 4:8, 14 NKJV

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse  your  hands,  you  sinners; and purify  your  hearts,  you  double-minded.... For what  is  your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

Shalom! Day #28. Do you know that the only price tag for your life is another life? Let us pray. Father as we study Your word, Holy Spirit help us to use this life which You have given to us appropriately. Help us to see the importance of using this life wholly for Your purpose and to do Your will. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen.

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Your worship and prayer draws you near to God. Worship and prayer is your lifeline. It's through worship and prayer we get into the deep intimacy with God. Worship and prayer connects us to God and it draws His presence to us, surrounding us. We are like in the  centre of the eye of the tornado, whereby it pulls everything to you. A magnetic force that's able to pull everything towards you. When you are surrounded by His presence, everything is gets pulled towards you. Blessings, promotion, good health, spiritual growth, new car, new house, better education, fruitfulness in ministry. EVERYTHING! This happens only when you take the first step to draw near to God. Then He will draw near to you. When we make that connection with God, there is a power that flows from Him to us. The woman with the 12 years of blood issue, she determined in her heart, no matter what happens I must touch Him and be healed. And Jesus in the midst of crowd realize that somebody had touched Him and power went out of Him that very moment and He asked who touched Him. There were a lot of people around Jesus and was touching Him and He did not comment about that, but this woman touch Him, and He asked who touched Me? You see, Jesus is able to differentiate between a religious touch and a spiritual touch. Many are just like the crowds, just touching Him but not with a determined heart like this women. This woman she made up her mind and penetrated into the crowds and touched Him. Now that's what I call worship! Sometimes we allow the crowd to be in our mind untill we find it difficult to penetrate through the crowd and touch Jesus. Is your head crowded with the things of the world today?

You have one life, do something with it. For what  is  your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. We do not know what will happen tomorrow, but as long it is called today, let us live our lives with a purpose and with a determined heart to touch God and touch lives. We are like the vapor that appears for a little time and vanishes away. We have a very limited time on this earth. You must realize your call and start doing something about it. Let our spirit arise, let our lives shines forth His glory as we draw near to Him.

Let this day be the day of the Lord.
