I don’t know about you, but I need God close. In this unfriendly world that we live in, understand that no one owes you anything. The purpose behind your creation was praise and purpose. Meaning, God made us to be of service; service to Him and service to His people.
In this unfriendly world that we live in understand that you cannot, and I repeat, cannot do it alone. Often times, as human, you feel that you can do anything, you can accomplish anything, or be anything that you want to me. But in the human flesh, there is a limit to what you can do. I’ll say it again, in the human flesh, there is a limit to what you can do.
The Word of God already declared over two thousand years ago, in Philippians 4:13, I (we) can do all things through Christ which gives us strength. God words tells us that it is through Him, and through Him only that we can do, and accomplish anything. It is not it our own strength that we “arrive”, but it is through the undeniable love and grace of God that we can “be”. You may have heard the old song, “God is my everything”, or the quote, “I am, because God is”. This is true…..I can walk, talk, breath, have the ability of my limbs……I think you get the point, all because of God.
God is the period to each and every one of our sentences, in others words, God is the period at the end of our lives, therefore, I, You, We NEED God close. Ultimately, it is our responsibility to do all that we can do within in the strength and power that God has already blessed us with. But God is the start and the finisher…………
So in my everyday walk, goings and comings, ups and down, I Need God Close. God has declared so many promises over my lives, and I want to inherit all of them. I can’t imagine living this life without God by my side. One thing for sure, I can always count on my parents to give me a Godly perspective for whatever I may be dealing with, but sometimes there are even some things that only God can help you with. God just has a way of soothing your worries, so as I deal with the frustrations of life, work, etc., I trust that God is working things together for my good. God is someone that I can always count on because He cares for me. God is someone that always sees and works things for my best interest, therefore, I Need God Close. I need to know God for myself; I need to cultivate a relationship with Him; we need to talk daily.
Each and every day, try to cultivate a better relationship with God. Don’t just call on God when things are bad, but I also call on Him when things are well; thanking Him that things are as well as they are. As the old folk like to say, “When things are well, that’s when you need God most”. I need God to fight for me, to look out for me, to stare my danger course, and when I don’t have the words to say, I need God to be there on my behalf to speak for me. God is my personal cornerstone, my advocate, my PR (public relations manager). God is everything to me, and when I acknowledge that, I trust that He knows what is best.
So, I encourage you today to keep God close; to cultivate a daily relationship with Him. I encourage you to be open with Him, trust Him with your deepest hurts and secrets, and know that He will stick closer than a brother.
I pray that has encouraged you!! Have an amazing Easter weekend!! ~BlessingsFlow
