Draw Near

When we draw near to God He has promised to draw near to us. That is a powerful promise that we can certainly count on. The question would be, how do we draw near to God? The first thing would be to withdraw, or pull ourselves away from the hustle / bustle, the noise and the many distractions that fill our modern lives. Then we focus on worship. God seeks those that worship Him in spirit and in truth. Finally, and this is the thing that is hardest for us, we wait. We tend to want instant contact. We are looking for quick spiritual elevation. Some sort of microwavable connection is what we want. Well, "they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength..." Drawing near to God requires at least these three things: withdrawing from other things, worshiping Him in spirit and in truth, and waiting upon Him. Work it out!
