NEAR: Draw near to God and He will draw near to you - James 4:8

So submit to God. But 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 make your hearts pure, you double-minded. James 4:7-8 NET

Infallible Truth: "And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water." Hebrews 10:19-22


Hymn: "IN THE PERSON OF HIS SON"
"Near, so very near to God,
Nearer I could not be;
For, in the Person of His Son,
I am as near as He.
Dear, so very dear to God,
Dearer I could not be,
For, in the Person of His Son,
I am as dear as He."

Prayer & Praise

Away from me, Satan! For it is written in the Holy Scriptures: "Worship the Lord Your God and serve Him only.” I submit my life to You, Abba Father, and thank You for allowing me to draw near to You 24/7/365 through Christ Jesus, whose precious and powerful blood cleanses my hands from all impurity and washes away all my sins. Lord Jesus, please give me a pure heart with a singular devotion to glorifying our Heavenly Father. Holy Spirit, please use me today to help someone who feels distant from God to draw near to Him by having faith in Christ Jesus, who is the Door to our Father. I pray they feel the nearness of God as we pray in Jesus' mighty name.
