2/11/13 Drawing
near to God.
That’s what Meditation Mondays are all about! It’s the
pre-requisite of gaining understanding from passages of scripture. Drawing near
prompts praise. That praise is carried into our time of meditation with Him and
our hearts seem to open to the truths that he has for us. That prompts prayer.
That draws us even nearer. It’s a great cycle. In the midst of all of that, is access
to God through our hope in Christ, who ever lives to intercede for us. A perfect cycle! Complete.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse (James 4:8)
Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen... (Ecclesiastes 5:1)
(for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. (Hebrews 7:19)
Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:25)Yesterdays’ Allen Bible Church message series title, “Let us Draw Near” was so-o-o “spot on” ---a great intro to direct one's meditation on Hebrews, chapter 7, a difficult passage.
Drawing near---approaching God’s throne of grace in
our time of need. A need for understanding His Word and applying it to our
lives.
