Lo Siento… (I am sorry).
I’ve been “off the grid” for two weeks. But that is often what happens when I go out of the country. It is not that I don’t have internet access as much as I don’t have time to post when on an international mission trip. But I had a great time in Mexico with friends I had not seen in a year, as well as being part of the very first worship service at a church plant in Uriangato, Mexico.
Anyway, back to today’s post…
“You Are As Close To The Lord As You Want To Be.”
Yowch!
Can that be true?
Definitely not.
It can’t be.
It can’t be my fault.
I mean, I want to be closer to God.
But then why aren’t I?
Is God moving away from me as I am trying to draw near to Him? No. That can’t be it.
Maybe it is true.
Maybe I am as close to the Lord as I want to be.
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”
The scriptures seem to be clear that God doesn’t move away from us, rather we move closer or further from Him.
If I want to be closer to Him, then it is on me to spend more time talking to Him, reading His Words to me, worshiping Him. He is as close to me as He can get – in that He has put His Holy Spirit within me. So it is up to me as to how much I choose to interact with Him.
If I truly want to be closer to God, then I will be closer by making the necessary changes in my life to spend more time with Him.
Guess it’s time to make some changes.
How about you? Are you close enough?
