James 4:7-10 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and
he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Be afflicted, and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning
and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and
He will lift you up.
Why is it that some believers seem to go much deeper in
their walk with God than others? I believe it has to do with a desire to
pursue God and not to stop until they feel His very presence in their
lives. These believers decide not to settle for anything less than a
growing, vibrant relationship with God, and God honors that desire for
those who seek it.
Much of our walk is determined by how we desire Him. In James, the
Lord promises that if you draw near to Him -- He will draw near to you. Our
enemy, Satan, uses everything in his power to prevent that vibrant
relationship from forming – but press through – press on – because
God wants this relationship very much.
I want more! God's heart and mind are
infinitely deep and there's nothing more precious than knowing Him better
and better. So I'm pushing through every obstacle to really show Him how
much he means to me. Let's do it together. (George, Baht Rivka, Elianna & Obadiah)
