The word for today is- Draw !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Draw !

 

Let's read James4:7-8,But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. This means draw nigh in worship and institutions, and in every duty he requires of you. Also, Cleanse your hands. He who comes unto God must have clean hands. Read 1 Timothy 2:8,Paul therefore directs to lift up holy hands without wrath and doubting. Hands free from blood, and bribes, and everything that is unjust or cruel, and free from every defilement of sin: he is not subject to God who is a servant of sin. The hands must be cleansed by faith, repentance, and reformation, or it will be in vain for us to draw nigh to God in prayer, or in any of the exercises of devotion.  The hearts of the double-minded must be purified. Those who halt between God and the world are here meant by the double-minded. To purify the heart is to be sincere, and to act upon this single aim and principle, rather to please God than to seek after anything in this world. A man may have a competent portion of the good things of this life, and yet may keep himself in the love of God; but he who sets his heart upon the world, who places his happiness in it, and will conform himself to it, and do anything rather than lose its friendship with the things of the world, he is an enemy to God; it is constructive treason and rebellion against God to set the world's ways upon our hearts. Whosoever therefore is the friend of the world is the enemy of God.There is something we have to do.  Resist the devil ( your way of thinking and doing things) your mind, and he will flee from you ( doing things God's way) by the Holy Spirit. This is a promise to us from God. If we resist the adversary, He will compel him to flee, and will give us the victory.We are taught to abandon the friendship of this world, so as to submit and subject ourselves entirely to God. Can two walk together, except they be agreed? It is impossible for two to walk together when in disagreement. Here is the point, it doesn't matter if you agree with me or not.  There is only one God and he only made One Way, I am the way!! So if you disagree with Jesus and the Word of God, you cannot walk with Him. If anyone reading this is lost or seeking more knowledge of you, I pray that they might come to the knowledge of you and your word and decide to walk with you in agreement.Thank you God for your word.Amen!
