Draw Near

9/28/2013

The more we pray, the more we long for God's presence because when we "taste and see that He is good", we sense there is so much more of Him just waiting for us to draw near.

This creates more dedication in us to spend time with Him. We yearn for His presence and that draws us back time and again to His throne. Our lives are forever changed.

My son-in-law is a farmer. In fact, he and my grandson are the sixth and seventh generations working their 134-year-old family farm.

In my last article, I closed with the reminder that our life is like a race and requires focus, discipline, and hard work on our part.

Further, that we are to “run with perseverance the race marked out for us” (Hebrews 12, verse 1).
