Draw near to God

James 4:8 New King James Version (NKJV) – Draw near to God and HE will draw near to you. …

A song by Michael W. Smith, titled:  Draw me close to You

Draw me close to You
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear You say that I’m Your friend

You are my desire
No one else will do
‘Cause nothing else can take your place
To feel the warmth of your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to you

You’re all I want
You’re all I’ve ever needed
You’re all I want
Help me know you are near

Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I’m your friend
You are my desire

No one else will do
‘Cause nothing else can take your place
To feel the warmth of your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to you

You’re all I want
You’re all I’ve ever needed
You’re all I want
Help me know you are near

You’re all I want
You’re all I’ve ever needed
You’re all I want
Help me know you are near
Help me know you are near
Help me know you are near

The song we just sung is a prayer in a song.

We have to intentionally do things that will take us close to God. God is already in us and we are in Him (John 14:20 New International Version  … and you are in me, and I am in you.) but the line we need to draw here is we have to bring God on the scenes of our lives by doing things intentionally to “bring Him near to us”. The bottom line here is that we manifest Him and that is when we do things to call or manifest His presence.

Prayer

Sweet Lord Jesus, help me to be conscious of Your Presence, so to manifest You through me, Amen!
