| James 4:8 – “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” |
God encourages us to seek a daily relationship with Him which would include lots of prayer and thanksgiving. “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”
A hunger for His presence indicates a desire for a close relationship. When we depend on God, He gives us the strength needed to get through every thing that comes our way! “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
We lean on Him for His supernatural power for our daily walk. We find strength in the Lord by trusting Him! We take great comfort in knowing “that all things work together for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.”
We gain strength by patiently waiting on the Lord’s timing in everything! We also gain strength through praise and thanksgiving. “God inhabits the praises of His people.” It’s an awesome thing to be close to the living God!
